Contextual Determinants of Reward Systems' Success: An Exploratory Study
研究了成功与不成功的奖励计划（包括薪酬、激励、福利等）的背景条件，发现计划设计本身并非成功的关键因素。
Abstract Data were collected on successful and unsuccessful reward initiatives. The initiatives included new and modified base pay, short‐ and long‐term incentive, benefits, and perquisite/lifestyle rewards. Initiative success was measured on seven factors, and ten conditions were measured for initiative success. Follow‐up telephone calls to most respondents provided more detail for examples. Analysis suggests that a common set of criteria can be used to judge the success of different kinds of programs. Surprisingly, success in plan design was not a significant explanatory variable in reaching success on any criterion of rewards initiative success. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
