18

Pay Equity (also Distributive Fairness) An employees perception that compensation received is equal to the value of the work performed. A motivation theory that explains how people respond to situations in which they feel they have received less (or more) than they deserve. Individuals form a ratio of their inputs to outcomes in their job and then compare the value of that ratio with the value of the ratio for other individuals in similar jobs.

Relationship between Pay Equity and Motivation

19

The greater the perceived disparity between my input/output ratio and the comparison persons input/output ratio, the greater my motivation to reduce the inequity.

Relationship b/w Expectancy Theory and Pay

20

Expectancy Theory

A theory of motivation that holds that employees should exert greater work effort if they have reason to expect that it will result in a reward that they value. Employees also must believe that good performance is valued by their employer and will result in their receiving the expected reward.

Strategic compensation planning process

22

Strategic compensation planning allows

an organization to focus on its strategic objectives and develop a comprehensive plan, considering base pay, short- and long-term incentives, benefits and growth opportunities. This kind of planning helps to ensure that the compensation system will support the organization's long-and short-term objectives. The ultimate objective of this process is to ensure that the compensation system attracts and retains the desired employees and that it motivates them to do those things that support the business plan.

The steps involved are:

23

Step 1: Identify business objectives.Begin the

process by focusing on the strategic objectives of the organization. What does the company plan to do in the short and long term to gain and to keep a competitive advantage? Will it increase its market share? Expand into new markets? Develop new products? Flatten its structure? Next, the focus is on the tactical level: How will the organization achieve these objectives? Will it work in teams? Will it reduce materials or overhead costs? Will it focus on customer service? Will it improve the quality of its goods or services? Some specific objectives can be extracted from the strategic planquality,productivity, service, teamwork, cost reduction and so forth. The potential list is long and different for each organization.

Step 2: Assess the current compensation system.

Look at the current pay system to assess the level at which it supports the objectives and the people necessary for the business. By taking this step, we will discover gaps or holes in the current system and uncover areas that are "overfunded."
Step 3: Identify potential plan types which can fill the

gaps. Finally, we can look at the gaps in the current

system and identify new or existing pay systems and their funding sources. This step can help close the gaps and make the pay system work effectively.

So this is how the whole concept and process of strategic compensation planning works
