Determining logical 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation is a tricky blend of art and science. Culture, country, history, social responsibility and, of course, the quest for company success all play a role in structuring 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation schemes.
For much of history, however, shareholder value has been the driving force behind how 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation plans are created. But is this the most logical determinant? Is there evidence to support the link between 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation and company performance? And should other factors play a role?
Why is 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation such a thorny -- and critical -- issue? Because it's a key factor in any discussion of corporate governance. The goal of any governing structure is to minimize "divergence of interests between firm owners and management." 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 pay is clearly a way to control managers' behavior and ensure that it aligns with the goals of the company.
The field of 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation has long been dominated by "agency theory," which predicts a "positive relationship between 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation and firm economic performance." According to this view, managers receive pay-for-performance awards in order to give them incentive to pursue the shareholders' values; pay is established based on "arm's length contracting between shareholders and management."
Though this line of thought is pervasive among researchers (it's often considered the "neoclassical" approach), the surprising truth is that little evidence exists to support such a relationship between 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 pay and firm performance. In fact, some researchers attribute recent corporate scandals to the overemphasis on maximizing shareholder value, without regard for the effects on other stakeholders.
In lieu of agency theory, other internal and external influences may actually have greater effects on 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 pay. These influences work on three levels: individual, organizational and institutional. At all three levels, the 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation planning process takes the social environment into consideration, and all three levels treat managerial discretion as a vital element.
The individual level, in particular, takes managerial discretion into strong account. Discretion refers to "the latitude of actions of 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브s and the individual's set of responses available which influence the context." Managerial discretion turns agency theory's "contracting" idea on its head: contracts are not perfect or completely thorough, and 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브s' personal beliefs and perceptions give them the power to instigate negotiations around their compensation (though they are somewhat limited by "market forces and other corporate governance mechanisms"). Managerial discretion can also lead to harmful outcomes, as managers may choose to act in their own self-interest rather than the firm's.
The organizational level addresses corporate purpose and a company's board of directors. According to this approach, shareholder value is not the same as long-term value for a company. To achieve long-term value, all stakeholders' interests, not just the shareholders', must be considered. Discretion is used not only by managers but also by the firm and the board when it comes to establishing pay schemes. This explains why "comparable firms may pay comparable 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브s differently."
At the institutional level, 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation is considered "socially embedded," and decision making is affected by a variety of factors including culture, history, norms and values. This view holds that corporate governance is "a problem of social action," and that 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation depends on societal needs and opinions. 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 pay differs widely among different countries, and even within a single country. There is still much to learn about the exact effect national conditions have on compensation plans.
With all this in mind, a new question arises: What's missing in 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation plans? The answer is clear: social responsibility. In the wake of corporate scandals like Enron, in which highly paid but unethical 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브s wreaked havoc on their workers' lives, business ethics and corporate social responsibility (CSR) have entered the discussion around 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation.
The neoclassical economic view of 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation, as just discussed, focuses on maximizing shareholder value, and "any financing or investment decision that is not expected to improve the value of the shareholder's stake in the business is not acceptable." 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브s are judged against "accounting and market-based measures of performance." As stated before, such a single-minded focus on financial performance can have negative consequences.
But what's the alternative? A stakeholder management approach, which asserts that a company is "a network of relationships with multiple constituencies," holds a possible solution. When diverse stakeholders' goals are all part of 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 strategy, a firm cannot be so single-minded. Indeed, a firm's CSR becomes "a source of competitive advantage"; it "enhances its 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 reputation, improves trusting and cooperative relationships, provides access to superior resources, lowers liability exposure and enhances social legitimacy" -- all of which strengthen the bottom line.
The exact connection between CSR and financial performance, however, is yet to be established; much research remains to be done. Some studies, in fact, have uncovered potential problems with CSR as it relates to 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation.
온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation is, at this point, an imperfect science. But one thing is clear: "relying exclusively on financial performance measures as the single criterion to which to link 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 pay might well be the cause of undesired corporate behaviors."
Furthermore, "pay schemes that only reward financial performance may deter managers from engaging in 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 social initiatives, since the link between social actions and financial performance is not straightforward and could actually hinder more immediate results."
The effort to link 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브 compensation to social responsibility as well as financial performance is worthwhile, and promises to benefit 온라인카지노 합법 벳무브s, shareholders, additional stakeholders -- and the companies to which they owe their livelihoods.
