Learning about Pay at Work: A Labour Process Approach to Pay Transparency
本文通过中国三家工厂的案例，研究工人如何在复杂可变薪酬和管理控制下学习薪酬信息，揭示薪酬透明度是劳资双方动态博弈的结果，而非单纯的管理工具。
Using a labour process approach, this article examines how workers in three factories in China learnt about the workplace-level pay systems governing their employment relationships. By outlining the processes through which workers learnt about pay at work, this article sheds light on how workers, faced with a perplexing variable pay system and managerial control over pay disclosure, can overcome the pathways towards ignorance and ultimately challenge the workplace-level pay communication regime. It is shown that pay transparency, rather than being merely an outcome of managerial practices to improve employee motivation and organisational performance, is an outcome of dynamic and contested social interactions between management and labour.
