There is and it's very effective ... A company I worked in briefly used to have this badge system to honor people that go the extra mile at work, and people were very keen on getting those even though it didn't have any financial compensation behind it

Um that is kindof missing the point. A badge is nothing more than a number expressed in symbols, so you demonstrated just another variation of how to hijack the brain, even if you just read an article showing it to you with numbers...

If "improving individual performance" means to you that you perform better at your job, you are already lost.

I'm sorry but if performing better at your job doesn't improve your individual performance, you need another job!
