Document Summary
Chapter 10 readings: 10. 1 traditional and contingent pay plans (page 264) A traditional approach in implementing reward systems is to reward employees for the positions they fill as indicated by their job descriptions and not necessarily by how they do their work. In other words, employees are rewarded for filling a specific slot in the organizational hierarchy. In such traditional pay systems, one"s job directly determines pay and indirectly determines benefits and incentives received. Typically, there is a pay range that determines minimum, midpoint, and maximum, rates for each job. In traditional reward systems, the type of position and seniority are the determinants of salary and salary increases, not performance. In such systems, there is no relationship between performance management and rewards. In collectivist societies, supervisors may be reluctant to give employees unsatisfactory performance ratings or ratings based on individual performance because this would single out individuals.
