Performance-Contingent Rewards and Satisfaction: An Initial Analysis
研究认为绩效挂钩的内在奖励和薪酬与员工满意度正相关，通过对649名员工调查验证了这一关系，但关于控制点、公平性和模糊容忍度的交互作用假设未获支持。
This study argues that a positive relationship will exist between employee satisfaction and performance-contingent intrinsic rewards and pay. A rationale is offered for expecting this relationship, and an empirical examination conducted among 649 employees of 5 Midwestern organizations. Consistent relationships were found to exist between the two sets of variables, even when the effects of actual reward level were partialled out. Results were, however, inconsistent with predictions regarding the interactions of performance-contingent rewards with (a) locus of control, (b) equity, and (c) tolerance of ambiguity. Some implications of these results are discussed.
