The Importance of Justice Perceptions on Pay Effectiveness: A Two-Year Study of a Skill-Based Pay Plan
通过两年追踪调查，研究技能薪酬计划如何通过员工公平感知影响其对薪酬体系的评价，发现培训与沟通能提升公平感，进而带来更积极的评价。
We conducted a survey across a two-year period to examine the attitudinal effects of skill-based pay (SBP) plans in a consumer products company in the Northeast region of the United States. We examined the relationship between SBP plan characteristics and employees’ evaluation of (and reactions to) the pay system; fairness perceptions were considered as the explanatory mediating variable. The results demonstrate that SBP plans, which provide training and are better understood and communicated, will lead to an increased general perception of fairness which, in turn, will lead to more positive evaluations of the plans a year later. Implications for the relationships between fairness perception and pay system design are discussed.
