Pay-for-Performance And Organizational Citizen Behavior And Task Performance

Performance Pay means that an enterprise gives incentive pay for the extra work that employees do or for the prominent part of employees' work performance. It aims at encouraging employees to improve the quality and efficiency of work. Its incentive function is one of the main methods that enterprises use to improve employees'performance. However, rather than directly taking effect, this function does work through affecting the perception of employees within an organization. The match degree of person-organization values fit represents an employee's indirect identity with his organizational culture, and represents the degree of correspondence between the organization values that an employee percepts and the employee's own values. Therefore, this research introduces the match degree of person-organization values as an intervening variable to study the relation among Performance-based Pay, Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) and employees'task performance. It also studies different effects that OCB in different level has on employees' task performance. From a new perspective and with a new intervening variable, this paper studies the relation between the incentive measures of human resource and employees' behavior and performance.This study has investigated some different employees of four kinds of organizations, gathered 310 questionnaires, by a factor analysis and structural equation modeling analysis method, using spss16.0 and Amos7.0 software to do the model test and parameter estimation. Conclusions this paper draws:Individual Performance Pay (IPP) has significant negative effects on OCB; Total Performance Pay (TPP) has significant positive effects on OCB; the match degree of person-organization values fit has significant positive effects on OCB; Performance-based Pay including IPP and TPP has positive effects on the match degree of employees'values; the person-organization values fit performs the intermediation function between the intensity of Performance-based Pay and OCB; OCB has significant positive effects on employees'task performance (OCB in individual level and task performance are significant positive correlation, and the interactive relation between OCB in group level, organization level and social level and task performance has not been tested and verified).
