Success and Survival of Skill-Based Pay Plans
对97家工厂的长期研究发现，设计特征、主管支持等因素影响技能薪酬计划带来的劳动力灵活性和计划存续，且该计划在制造业比服务业更成功。
Factors related to the success and survival of skill-based pay (SBP) plans are addressed in a longitudinal study of 97 facilities. Results indicate that certain design features and support variables relate to increased workforce flexibility and to SBP survival, and supervisor support also relates strongly to SBP survival. The results also show that SBP plans are more successful and sustainable in manufacturing facilities than in service facilities, and SBP survival is less likely in facilities pursuing a technical innovation strategy. Implications of the research for theory and practice regarding SBP plans, compensation systems, and human resources management innovations are addressed.
