English term or phrase: incent/incenticize
A new buzzword, at least here in Silicon Valley...

ex.
In a startup, it is important to properly *incent/incenticize* your team.

Similar to "motivate", but suggests giving something material--stock ownership, etc.

Is there an equivalent buzzword in Arabic?

Arabic translation:haffaza
Explanation:
While the previous translation uses the right root for the word, it rendered them as verbal nouns and not as as a verb. In addition, to make a "buzzword" you need not add the second part of the translation (which means material); that meaning would be embedded in the context.

Explanation:
When it comes to such terms, the context determines the exact Arabic translation. For instance, if the context is talking about givining a certain category of the employees a 2% share of the equity as in incentive, I would describe such a program as "musharakat el muthafeen".
If provide the actaul context, we may be of more help.
