STRATEGIC COMPENSATION: THE PRACTICE
How well does strategic compensation theory stand up to scrutiny empirically? What are
leading organisations doing and most importantly – how well are they doing it? In response
to these issues, and using both quantitative and qualitative methods, primary case study based
research conducted by the author reveals a portrait of strategic compensation practice in stark
contrast with prescribed theory and practice, with important implications for performance,
organizations and the people they employ (Trevor, 1997).
