The impact of leader financial rewards on work group functioning

该项目旨在调查组织领导者的经济奖励何时以及为什么会改善或破坏社会群体的功能。近年来，领导人的薪酬显著增加，引发了关于这对组织运作影响的辩论。虽然一些研究发现高领导奖励对团队成果有积极影响，但其他研究发现负面影响或没有影响。预期成果包括关于领导者奖励对群体社会认同和对集体目标贡献的影响的数据，这将有助于决策者设计优化运作的奖励制度。这有可能使澳大利亚企业和组织受益匪浅，以促进高功能群体并提高生产力。

This project aims to investigate when and why organisational leaders’ financial rewards improve or undermine social group functioning. Leaders’ pay has increased markedly in recent years, fuelling debate about the impacts on organisational functioning. While some studies have found high leader rewards have positive effects on group outcomes, others found negative or no effects. Expected outcomes include data on the effects of leader rewards on social identification with the group and contribution to collective goals, that will help policy-makers design reward systems that optimise functioning. This has the potential to significantly benefit Australian business and organisations to facilitate high-functioning groups and improve productivity.
