Are Higher Pay Increases Necessarily Better? This study investigated the relationship between pay increase percentages and pay satisfaction among 118 MBA students and found that pay satisfaction had the largest increase between three percent and seven percent and appeared to level off between seven percent and eleven percent, suggesting that there may be a point at which high pay increases may not necessarily lead to more satisfaction. In addition, it was found that pay increases between six and eight percent are the minimum amounts needed for pay increase satisfaction. Finally, we suggest that employees may not need as high of a pay increase to experience satisfaction with their pay increase when providing those employees with a signal, such as an average pay increase. pdf  
Best Practice Guidance to Managing Compensation Prior to an IPO IPOs have been with us for a long time. There is nothing really new about the process, be it in the United States, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere. What is changing, in general, is the attention organizations give to corporate governance issues. In particular, organizations focus on how to handle executive compensation issues during the IPO process so that they are better prepared to deal with the public scrutiny post-IPO. The period leading to the IPO provides a unique opportunity for an organization to review its compensation programs and to make dramatic changes, if needed, without all the public scrutiny. It is an opportunity that will not occur again. pdf

Is Pay-for-Performance Detrimental to Innovation? Previous research has argued that compensation plans based on the pay-for-performance principle are effective in inducing higher levels of effort and in avoiding diversion of funds by managers. How should managerial compensation be structured if the goal is to induce managers to pursue more innovative business strategies? In a controlled laboratory setting, we provide evidence that the combination of tolerance for early failure and reward for long-term success is successful in motivating innovation. Subjects under such an incentive scheme explore more and are more likely to discover a novel business strategy than subjects under fixed-wage and standard pay-for-performance incentive schemes. We also find evidence that the threat of termination can undermine incentives for innovation, while golden parachutes can alleviate these innovation-reducing effects. pdf 2011 new
Is Your Long-Term Incentive Plan Really Performance-Based? Long-term incentive plans (LTIPs) typically provide the largest component of senior executives’ compensation, most often through one or more of three equity-based types: stock options, restricted stock, and what are often called performance shares. This article focuses on performance shares, an increasingly common form of performance-based LTIPs, and their importance as a major component of executive pay. We believe that performance shares establish the strongest link in tying compensation to performance. The article also presents data on the increasing prevalence of these types of plans. pdf

Promise and Peril in Implementing Pay for Performance: A Report on Thirteen Natural Experiments Despite the popularity of pay for performance programs, very little research has examined the dynamics and dilemmas associated with implementing these programs. We studied the implementation of thirteen experiments in pay for performance that were initiated by local management in a high-commitment company (Hewlett Packard). We examined Hewlett Packard documents and interviewed managers to understand their experience with implementing these programs. Managers reported a relatively unfavorable cost-benefit assessment of programs and difficulty in designing and maintaining them, especially in a fast changing business environment. Managers at each site eventually concluded that they could attain greater performance  benefits through alternative managerial tools like effective leadership, clear objectives, coaching or training, and therefore discontinued their pay for performance programs. Finally, we discuss implications for management and for future research. pdf
