PFP link measured the degree to which employees perceived a
strong link between their performance and pay outcomes. Items
were drawn from Chiang and Jang (2008) and Deckop et al., 1999.
Respondents were asked to indicate whether when they perform
well in their job that they would receive—good pay, an incentive
pay award, monetary bonuses, and pay increases. Deckop et al.
(1999) demonstrated that perceived PFP link is a more important
explanatory variable than actual PFP link.
