Causes and consequences of ineffective supervisory compensation systems

Article Abstract:

A survey of 146 front-line supervisors revealed several causes of poor supervisor compensation systems. Forty-two percent of supervisors cite low merit pay ceilings as the main cause of their frustration. Unattainable or conflicting goals was cited as a reason for the dissatisfaction by 39% of the respondents. Small payouts, salary compression and unclear performance standards were also cited as contributing to supervisor discontent. These factors lead to demoralization and erosion of work ethic. As much as 40% of those surveyed said they were considering resigning from their jobs or were less willing to take new challenges.
