Compensation strategy: does business strategy influence compensation in high‐technology firms?
基于战略员工群体概念，研究高科技企业创新战略如何影响研发人员的薪酬水平、时间跨度及股票期权行权期长度，对237家企业中层管理者和专业员工的薪酬数据进行分析。
Abstract Drawing on the strategic employee group concept, this study empirically examines whether a firm's innovation strategy influences compensation systems for strategic employee groups in the high‐technology industry. We focus on compensation packages for R&D employees who play a critical role in successful implementations of innovation strategy. Using compensation data for middle‐level managers and professional employees from 237 firms in the high‐technology industry, we found that a firm's strategic intention to pursue innovation has a significant influence on the relative pay level, compensation time horizon, and stock option vesting period lengths of this strategic employee group.
