| Abstract: | Traditionally, UK manufacturing has made extensive use of variable payments systems (VPS), notably piece-work and bonuses. The author based on the six case analysis suggesting that a focus on pay is only part of the picture. Increased competition and change makes the design of VPS more complex, and new forms of work organization become the focus of performance. The paper demonstrate in this context, firms have (i) abandoned individual incentive pay and (ii) aggregated VPS in support of broader objectives. |
