战略指出薪酬政策与性能相关找出偏差将提供额外的支持应急查看在战略补偿理论中。补偿政策与战略意义这项研究认为,薪酬政策的五个战略性薪酬理论经常提到的几个方面:(1)赔偿理念;(2)外部竞争力;(3)激励基组合;(4)个人(优异)增加工资;(5)薪酬管理。补偿哲学。本研究针对重要性方面的组织支付哲学分配到三个目标种:(a)劳动成本控制,(b)雇员的吸引力和忠诚度,(c)员工的积极性。赔偿制度通过其在这三个区这代表了传统的薪酬政策设计目标的影响具有战略影响。正如前面解释,一个组织的业务战略将决定这三种目标的相对重要性。此外,支持不同的目标的薪酬政策,可能互相冲突。因此,战略赔偿需要一种基于这些目标的重要性提供具体的方向和目的的薪酬政策的哲学(劳勒,1991)。对外竞争力。这一政策领域是指一个组织的薪酬水平提供了相对于其竞争对手。它在吸引/保留和劳动力成本的目标时有重要的影响。薪酬水平越高,组织能力越强才会获得合格的劳动力。显然,提高薪酬水平将会提高总劳动成本。不过,提高薪酬水平可能导致提高单位劳动力成本。劳动经济学的一个新兴的看法,被称为效率工资理论,争辩支付高于市场水平,可以促进员工的积极性,将抵消劳动成本的增加(霍尔泽,1990)。混合激励。这项政策涉及到与激励(变量)和相应的区别(固定)工资,它具有战略意义。增加的那部分工资已被作为一种提倡员工奖励挂钩和经营业绩的有效的机制(例如见米切尔,卢因和劳勒,1991)。除了一个合适的目标明确的动机,高激励对基本工资的比例使一些劳动力成本变量并可能有助于吸引和留住勤劳的工人和敢冒险的员工。个人(优异奖)加薪。政策处理个人基本工资的增加对员工有直接影响,并且具有战略意义(米尔科维奇,布罗德里克,1991)。绩效工资,一个饱受争议的政策,为个人缴纳的增加的决定代表了最流行的系统。调查发现,百分之80的私营机构的雇主,大多数州政府,和约一半的地方政府有绩效工资计划(贺娜蒙,1992年)。组织不同的政策
