摘要：The relationship between interclass pay equity and product quality is examined in a sample of 102 corporate business units.

Interclass pay equity is determined by comparing the pay and inputs of hourly workers and of lower-level managers and ...

摘要：Tournament models have developed into an important component of the theoretical literature on organizational reward systems. However, with one exception there have been no empirical tests of the incentive effects of tournament models in a field setting.

Modal subjects in our experiments rated the outcome of $500 fo...
