Adopting residual income-based compensation plans: Do you get what you pay for?
نویسنده
چکیده
Managers, consultants, and the financial press assert that compensation plans based on residual income change managers’ behavior. This assertion is empirically tested by selecting a sample of firms that began using a residual income performance measure in their compensation plans and comparing their performance to a control sample of firms that continue to use traditional accounting earnings-based incentives. The results generally support the adage ‘you get what you measure and reward’. The results also support many hypothesized managerial actions associated with residual income-based performance measure incentives. ( 1997 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
