Description: `Gerhart and Rynes provide a thorough, comprehensive review of the vast literatures relevant to compensation′ - Alison Barber, Eli Broad College of Business, Michigan State University
Compensation provides a comprehensive, research-based review of both the determinants and effects of compensation. Combining theory and research from a variety of disciplines, Barry Gerhart and Sara Rynes examine the three major compensation decisions-pay level, pay structure and pay delivery systems.
Review Quotes: "Compensation is an excellent review of the current state of employee compensation... It is an excellent way to stimulate the thinking of those involved in research on organizational reward systems and should be required widely of doctoral students and others with a research interest in the topic... One of the strongest features of this book is its clear theoretical orientation to the topics covered. What's more, the text is not so much an introduction to those theories as a way of challenging the reader to think through implications on a bit more sophisticated level... The book is an excellent reference work for researchers and advanced students."--PERSONNEL PSYCHOLOGY (9/1/2005 12:00:00 AM)
