Personnel Economics: The Economist's View of Human Resources
深入企业内部,从经济学角度分析薪酬、招聘、培训和团队等人力资源管理实践,探讨如何设计薪酬结构、激励员工和有效利用团队,为管理者提供新工具和新答案。
Personnel economics drills deeply into the firm to study human resource management practices like compensation, hiring practices, training, and teamwork. Why should pay vary across workers within firms—and how “compressed” should pay be within firms? Should firms pay workers for their performance on the job or for their skills or hours of work? How are pay and promotions structured across jobs to induce optimal effort from employees? Why do firms use teams and how are teams used most effectively? How should all these human resource management practices, from incentive pay to teamwork, be combined within firms? Personnel economists offer new tools to analyze these questions—and new answers as well.
