...THE MANAGEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Posted on November 16, 2011 1 EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Notes on THE MANAGEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION….. Executive compensation is the total remuneration or financial compensation a top executive receives within an organization. This includes a basic salary, any and all bonuses, shares options, and any other company benefit. Over the past three decades, executive compensation has risen dramatically beyond the rising levels of an average worker’s wage. Executive compensation is an important part of corporate governance, and is often determined by a company’s board of directors. Executive compensation is a very important thing to consider when evaluating an investment opportunity. Executives who are improperly compensated may not have the incentive to perform in the best interest of shareholders, which can be costly for those shareholders. While new laws and regulations have made executive compensation much clearer in company filings, many investors remain clueless as to how to find and read these critical reports. This article will take a look at the different types of executive compensation and how investors can find and evaluate compensation information. WHO IS AN EXECUTIVE? A person or group having administrative or managerial authority in an organisation. The chief officer of a government, state or political division. Chief executive officer (CEO), one of the highest-ranking corporate officers (executives) or administrators...

CRITICAL ISSUES FOR COMPENSATION AND INCENTIVES MANAGEMENT: THEORETICAL APPROACH Ramunė Čiarnienė, Milita Vienažindienė Kaunas University of Technology, Vilnius Co-operative College For most people, pay is a primary reason for working. Indeed, compensation is at the core of any employment exchange, and it serves as a defining characteristic of any employment relationship. The study focuses on critical points of compensation and incentives management. The fundamentals of a good incentive program include the elements of vision, potential, communication and motivation and can be realized if incentive promises are fulfilled – by both employer and employee. The aim of the paper is to identify the most important attributes of compensation and incentives management. Research method is the analysis and synthesis of scientific literature, logical, comparative and graphic representation. On the base of analysis, authors of this paper present the model of incentive system for positive employee attitudes and behaviors. Keywords: compensation, employees, incentives, management. Introduction Compensation refers to all forms of financial returns and tangible services and benefits employees receive as part of an employment relationship. Pay may be received directly in the form of cash (e.g., wages, merit increases, incentives, cost of living adjustments) or...

...For organisations to achieve their goals, it is important that management control systems motivate managers and influence their behaviour to align their goals with the goals of the organisation (goal congruence). This can be achieved by reward and incentive systems because managers will tend to focus on the activities that are rewarded. Research have shown that people will be more motivated by the potential of earning rewards than by the fear of punishment. A managers total compensation package consists of salaries, benefits and an incentive compensation. Incentive compensation plans are divided into short-term and long-term plans. Under a short-term plan, managers are usually paid in cash. The total amount that can be paid out to employees in a given year is called the “bonus pool” and relates to the overall profitability in a current year. Bonus pools can be established setting the bonus equal to a set percentage of the profits or base bonuses on profitability relative to the industry. Under the short-term plan, some organisations might follow a deferred compensation plan, which spreads out the payments to managers over a period of years. Advantages of this are that managers can estimate their cash income for the year and even after retiring, the manager will continue to receive payments for a number of years. However, the payments may not relate to the performance in the year it was earned. With long-term plans, for an example, managers are usually given the option...

...A Snapshot of AXP Management Compensation Overview: Compensation Package Philosophy and Design The idea behind American Express (AXP) executive compensation program is to reward outstanding leadership that drives results and cultivates sustainable shareholder value. Paying awards in various time horizons from short term, medium term, to long term, the company works on aligning the interest of its shareholders and senior executives. A combination of fixed but predominantly variable awards is structured to encourage annual and sustainable performances. To study its executive compensation plan, the composition of payout package can be divided in terms of base salary, annual incentive award, cash portfolio grant award, performance restricted stock award, and stock option award (see Exhibit 1). CEO’s 50% versus other executive’s 59% short-term compensation encourages focus on long-term performances. In fact, “over 84% of the total direct compensation delivered in 2013 was variable and tied to performance, including financial results, strategic initiatives, and stock performance” (AXP Proxy Statement). A detailed description of the performance measurement is shown in Exhibit 2. Analysis: Management Performances versus Management Compensation The executive management at AXP may seem to be excessively over-compensated to some outside analysts but not to the internal board. From 2013 to 2014 (see Exhibit 3), target revenue growth of 8% annually was missed by half and EPS growth was...

...Primary Components of Compensation Management By: Desteni Lawhorn HR434 Compensation Management Park University Submitted: April 24, 2011 Too much focus on trends and hot topics. Not enough focus on customizing programs and processes to address real needs. People have programs looking for an application rather than analyzing the issue and then determining what's the best program or process. Too many start at the end and work toward the beginning. Logically they should start at the beginning. -Bruce Ellig Compensation management is more than just remuneration to appeal or retain capable employees, it is the leverage an organization utilizes to obtain, and retain its human capital and provide competitive positions within the organization. Recently, Human Resource departments have focused on the latest compensation trends or are geared toward rewards without merit, relevance or fit. This is a common mistake as compensation management should be focused on primary components of job analysis, pay structure and salary surveys. Human Resource departments must apply these fundamentals in the compensation management system in order to integrate well in an organization. Compensation management affords an organization the ability to reward superior execution and maintain the top employees in a particular field that contribute to the overall success and profitability of an organization. Through utilization of the basic fundamentals, organizations can visibly assess the employee’s...

Typically, she would only visit regional offices to attend disciplinary or grievance meetings. Whilst the company has broad guidelines on how each department is managed, the general attitude among senior management at HQ has been that as long as each office is performing adequately, they are happy not to intervene or get too involved at regional level unless directly asked to do so. However following the recent growth of the firm from a relatively small, tight-knit organisation to a larger, more bureaucratic company, the senior managers are keen to introduce a ‘performance culture’ into the firm and to formalise and standardise its key HR processes. As part of an ongoing process of reviewing HR policies and practices at the regional sales offices, you have been asked to compile details of the way in which reward is handled in each office with a view to standardising practices across the firm. Currently, all basic pay is determined according to what senior management feel is the ‘going rate’ for sales representatives nationally through a rudimentary benchmarking exercise conducted every two years by the...

...Compensation management theories Reinforcement theory Reinforcement theory proposes that you can change someone’s behavior by using reinforcement, punishment and extinction. Rewards are used to reinforce the behavior you want and punishments are used to prevent the behavior you do not want. Extinction is a means to stop someone from performing a learned behavior. Reinforcement is a behavioral construction where control is achieved by manipulating the consequences of behavior. A business manager using reinforcement theory might employ reward for desirable behavior by staff and punishments for undesirable behavior to help steer employees toward intended performance goals. Reinforcement theory states that a response followed by a reward is more likely to recur in the future (Thorndike's Law of Effect). The implication for compensation management is that high employee performance followed by a monetary reward will make future high performance more likely. By the same token, high performance not followed by a reward will make it less likely in the future. The theory emphasizes the importance of a person actually experiencing the reward. TYPES OF REINFORCEMENT Positive Positive reinforcement results when the occurrence of a valued behavioral consequence has the effect of strengthening the probability of the behavior being repeated. The specific behavioral consequence is called a reinforcer. Example, sales person that exact extra effort to meet a sales quota (behavioral)...
