Note:This volume is must reading for anyone interested in the budding area of pay-for-performance--individual, group, team, or organizational. Risher (Wharton School, Univ. of Pennsylvania) has assembled 13 practitioner-consultants who report on their experiences with compensation strategies linked to organizational outcomes. Although a number of articles focus on executive compensation and the motivating effects of incentive-based compensation, the majority of commentaries examine pay-outcome linkages for rank-and-file organizational members. For example, Risher and Kochanski (Sibson & Company) and Crandall and Wallace (both with the Center for Workforce Effectiveness) address competency-based pay--pay for organizationally valued knowledge, skills, and behaviors. These are followed with a series of articles that discuss pay and group outcomes. Wilson (Wilson Group) explores group incentive plans; Gross (William M. Mercer Inc.) looks at team-based pay; and Coleman (Organization Resources Counselors) analyzes results-based pay from a global perspective. Finally, Anthony (Solutions Network) uses marketing principles to sell and communicate compensation changes, and Risher concludes with a discussion of pay as a key motivating technique for obtaining desired organizational outcomes." -- Choice review
