Between Consistency and Adaptation: How Middle Managers Shape Compensation System Implementation

Human Resource Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The success of a human resource management (HRM) system or subsystem, such as a compensation system, hinges on its implementation—yet the microfoundations of this process remain underexplored. To address this gap, we conducted two studies. Study 1 surveyed middle managers and employees in six organizations to examine their attributions of ...
