Executive compensation is a complete opposite to the distributive justice method within the equity theory. Executive compensation, although seemingly “fair” in comparison to CEO’s of similar companies is completely lopsided in today’s job Market. With the ratio being “eight times higher than the same ratio from the 1950s,” CEOs are being ridiculed for being overpaid in comparison with the rest of the company. In my opinion, the comparative others should be more closely tied in with the rest of the company and not so much comparison to other CEOs. If one corporation begins to raise the bar for executive compensation, then the rest of the companies begin to do so and that’s how we begin to see the rise in executive compensation. If executive compensation can be more closely tied in with the total revenue of the company for the year and be more evenly distributed amongst employees, moral and work efforts should see an increase. Although the text states that within a study of the NHL paying players based off of successful performance, I think that the corporate side of the market is not a fair comparison. Although professional sports is a “business” in some manner, it should not be used to support and compare executive compensation. Although the CEO is the head of the business, typically the CEO is not the one putting in all of the work, that’s why a company cannot run off of a single employee. Work needs to be distributed equally along with pay. I think that in order to determine what is a “fair” level of compensation for corporate executives should be based off of review boards and fellow employee evaluations. Based off scores on those evaluations, executive compensation rates should be applied, but not to the extent of a median payout of “14 million” for a CEO.
