Empowerment, Task Commitment, and Performance Pay
从社会心理学视角出发，理论分析员工赋权与任务承诺的关系，并用大型雇主-雇员面板数据验证模型预测，解释不同工人和公司间薪酬方案的多样性。
Although, from the viewpoint of social psychology, task commitment is a driving force for intrinsic motivation at the workplace, this topic has been widely ignored in labor and personnel economics so far. Our paper contributes to reduce this gap in the literature by offering a theoretical analysis on worker empowerment and task commitment. This approach also helps to explain the observed variety of compensation schemes across workers and firms. By using a large-scale linked employer-employee panel data set, we present empirical evidence that is consistent with the predicted patterns of our theoretical model.
