Equity Theory
  • InputOutcome ratio for self
  • InputOutcome ratio for referen
  • Perception of ratios affects future performance

5
Equity in Financial Compensation
  • Equity - Fair pay treatment for employees
  • External equity - Firm's employees are paid
    comparably to workers who perform similar jobs in
    other firms
  • Internal equity - Exists when employees are paid
    according to relative value of their jobs within
    same organization

6
Equity in Financial Compensation (Continued)
  • Employee equity - Individuals performing similar
    jobs for same firm are paid according to factors
    unique to employee, such as performance level or
    seniority
  • Team equity - More productive teams are rewarded
    more than less productive groups

7
Determinants of Individual Financial Compensation
  • Organization
  • Labor market
  • Job
  • Employee

8
Compensation Policies
  • Pay leaders pay higher wages and salaries
  • Market rate, or going rate pay what most
    employers pay for same job
  • Pay followers pay below market rate because
    poor financial condition or believe they do not
    require highly capable employees

9
The Labor Market as a Determinant of Financial
Compensation
  • Compensation surveys
  • Expediency
  • Cost of living
  • Labor unions
  • Society
  • Economy
  • Legislation

Determining internal equity
11
The Job as a Determinant of Financial Compensation
  • Job itself continues to be a factor, especially
    in those firms that have internal pay equity as a
    primary consideration
  • Organizations pay for value they attach to
    certain duties, responsibilities, and other
    job-related factors such as working conditions

12
Job Analysis and Job Descriptions
  • Before organization can determine relative
    difficulty or value of jobs, must first define
    content
  • This is done by analyzing jobs

13
Job Evaluation
  • Firm determines the relative value of one job in
    relation to another
  • Point factor system most widely used
  • Determine compensible factors
  • Set weights for each
  • Assign points
  • Decide pay classifications

14
Job Pricing
  • Placing a dollar value on worth of a job
  • Pay grades - Grouping of similar jobs to simplify
    pricing jobs
  • Wage curve - Fitting of plotted points to create
    a smooth progression between pay grades
  • Pay ranges - Minimum and maximum pay rate with
    enough variance between the two to allow for a
    significant pay difference

15
Job Pricing (Continued)
  • Broadbanding Collapses many pay grades into a
    few wide bands or improve effectiveness
  • Single rate system - Pay ranges are not
    appropriate for some workplace conditions such as
    some assembly line
  • Adjusting pay rates - Overpaid and underpaid jobs
