I think the token economy thing is a good idea. You could also do a market approach of rewarding people who pick the top performers, but that gets really tricky.
That's an interesting looking book. I'm familiar with the whole intrinsic/extrinsic motivation arguments. I guess it depends on the definition of "work". In this case the economy would be intended as a measurement tool more than a motivational tool. However, I suppose you could still make a case that it would become demotivational, which would be at cross purposes.

All the research on token economies shows they don't work, at least according to Punished by Rewards.
