Beyond Incentive Pay: Insiders' Estimates of the Value of Complementary Human Resource Management Practices
提出“内部人计量经济学”方法,深入企业内部获取数据,研究激励薪酬、团队合作、培训等互补性人力资源管理实践如何影响生产率,发现这些实践能提升绩效,尤其对生产复杂产品或新建工厂的企业效果更显著。
Do human resource management (HRM) practices, such as incentive pay, teamwork, training, and careful screening practices, raise productivity, and if so, under what conditions does productivity rise? Recently, this question has been a central focus in organizational and personnel economics. We emphasize the value of a new research approach – an approach we label “insider econometrics”–that is aimed going deep inside businesses to obtain data and insights into the ways in which HRM practices affect specific production processes. We conclude that sets of complementary HRM practices appear to raise performance, but that some firms, such as those that make complex products or those that are starting up brand new facilities, benefit more from these practices.
