Pay and employee intrapreneurialism in Russia, 1994–2015: A longitudinal study
基于Akerlof的“部分礼物交换”理论，利用俄罗斯纵向监测调查数据，研究了1994-2015年间薪酬与员工内部创业贡献的关系，发现高薪酬溢价带来的内部创业贡献显著下降，且非正规部门的内部创业与劳动力市场压力相关。
Abstract We examine whether a high wage–high employee intrapreneurial inputs model remains a significant feature of the Russian economy. We do so by estimating the evolution of employee ‘intrapreneurial’ contributions to companies in Russia, 1994–2015, using Akerlof's theory of ‘partial gift exchange’. Akerlof (1982) suggests that employee discretionary contributions to organizational capacities rise when pay exceeds employee perceptions of ‘fair’ pay in comparable employment. Using the extensive Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS), we find that overall employee intrapreneurial contributions significantly declined, 1994–2015, mirroring the declining Akerlof wage premium. Intrapreneurialism in highly informalized sectors was associated with labour market pressures. We extend Akerlof's theory to recognize intrapreneurial activity associated with coercive labour market pressures in the secondary labour market.
