Spanish term

el método del palo y la zanahoria

Spanish to English Social Sciences Management human resources management
La evolución social ha influido grandemente en los conceptos de la gestión de los recursos humanos. En las sociedades democráticas avanzadas, la complejidad de los procesos requiere, cada vez mas, empleados que se sientan dueños responsables de esos procesos y que los pongan en marcha al servicio de los objetivos de la empresa.
Los antiguos sistemas basados fundamentalmente en la coacción o, en el mejor de los casos, en el método del palo y la zanahoria se muestran cada vez mas ineficientes. Crean un abismo entre la dirección y los empleados en detrimento de la cooperación, de la creatividad, de la calidad y de la mejora.

Gracias,

agree has : This is definitely the right translation (approach rather that method). Author Harry Levinson, for one, uses this term. In fact, I am sure this is English going back to English.

carrot-stick policy // carrot and stick policy

Carrot and Stick Policy
Much of the policy of today is what I like to call "carrot-stick policy". Carrot-stick policy is where the policy in effect dangles a carrot in front of the person (or more accurately a group of people) and tries to get that person to do something.
