Theory is integrated with a strong emphasis on practical application of the concepts. A consequence model is presented which links the pay system to other parts of the organization. Features include in-depth coverage on employee participation in pay systems design, openness, and the quality of worklife, discussion of progress issue in pay administration, novel treatment of pay as a lag-or-lead factor in a large scale organization change effort, examples of recent innovations in pay, and chapter-end questionnaires.
