Are You Spending Your Company's Compensation Dollars Wisely?, Dow Scott Nov 2012

Are You Spending Your Company's Compensation Dollars Wisely?, Dow Scott

Dow Scott

Compensation costs are the largest single expense most organizations have—ranging from 15 to 20 percent in manufacturing to more than 80 percent in the human services industry. Recognizing the strategic impact of compensation, senior executives want to know if these dollars are being spent effectively. However, few organizations systematically evaluate their pay programs or only do so in the most rudimentary fashion.

Pay Perceptions And Their Relationships With Cooperation, Commitment And Intent To Quit: A Field Study, J Shields, Dow Scott, J Bishop, P Goelzer Dec 2011

Pay Perceptions And Their Relationships With Cooperation, Commitment And Intent To Quit: A Field Study, J Shields, Dow Scott, J Bishop, P Goelzer

Dow Scott

This study examines how perceived in-role (or horizontal) pay differences and understanding of the pay system influence three key performance-related attitudes, namely, organizational commitment, willingness to cooperate, and intent to quit, both directly and indirectly via perceived pay fairness. Toward this end, we apply structural equation modeling to self-report survey-based evidence collected from full-time employees in a major United States supermarket licensing group (n = 159). As expected, perception of wide pay differences was negatively related to pay fairness, while pay understanding was positively related to it. Pay fairness played a pivotal mediating role in strengthening organizational commitment and reducing …


Rentention Of Key Talent And The Role Of Rewards, Dow Scott Dec 2011

Rentention Of Key Talent And The Role Of Rewards, Dow Scott

Dow Scott

Retention of key talent – those employees who are the strongest performers, have high potential, or are in critical jobs – is particularly important during economic recoveries when organizations compete more aggressively for market share and talent. Key talent disproportionally contributes to current and future organization performance since key employees often become organization leaders or employees with unique skills. In today’s world it is more challenging to hide your top talent because of social media applications like Linked In openly promote their capabilities and accomplishments. Furthermore, top talent can compare the “deal” or pay package they currently receive with that …

Rewards Communication In Australia: A Survey Of Policies And Programs, J Shields, Dow Scott, R S. Sperling, T Higgins Dec 2008

Rewards Communication In Australia: A Survey Of Policies And Programs, J Shields, Dow Scott, R S. Sperling, T Higgins

Dow Scott

Human resources (HR) and compensation professionals in Australia were surveyed to determine how they communicate rewards information to employees. The rewards communications survey examined five reward components: organization reward strategy and philosophy, base pay, base-pay increases, short-term variable pay and benefits. This research found that HR and compensation professionals believe that rewards communication is important, even to the degree that it affects organizational performance, employee satisfaction with pay, employee retention and employee motivation. They also believe that most employees have limited understanding of the purpose of reward programs and how they work; in fact, many do not understand aspects of …

Dimensions Of Interpersonal Relationships And Safety In The Steel Industry, G W. Watson, Dow Scott, J W. Bishop, T Turnbeaugh Jan 2005

Dimensions Of Interpersonal Relationships And Safety In The Steel Industry, G W. Watson, Dow Scott, J W. Bishop, T Turnbeaugh

Dow Scott

This paper extends theories explaining the influence of social determinants on workplace safety. Specifically, we applied social capital theory’s emphasis of trust, shared norms, and faithfulness to obligations to the outcomes of at-risk behavior and perceptions of a safe work environment. Data provided by 395 employees of a major steel company supported the hypothesis that shared employee norms predicted both perceptions of work environment safety and at-risk behavior, trust in supervisor predicted perceptions of a safe work environment, and belief in management’s safety values predicted at-risk behaviors.

A Construct Validity Study Of Commitment And Perceived Support Variables: A Multi-Foci Approach Across Different Team Environments, J W. Bishop, Dow Scott, M G. Goldsby, R L. Cropanzano

Dow Scott

Social exchange theory suggests that employees feel commitment toward both their employing organizations and their work teams, while also experiencing varying levels of support from these same entities. Unfortunately, previous work has neither fully explored this possibility nor tested the capacity of currently available instruments to adequately measure the distinctiveness of the associated constructs. To address this need, we collected data from 902 employees in four diverse organizations. As predicted, respondents distinguished among organizational commitment, team commitment, organizational support, and team support. Furthermore, as predicted, perceived support from an entity predicted commitment to that same entity.
