Management Research Report - Pay grade structures and motivation

Chloe

Hi All,

I am currently studying for my MA in HRM and am currently doing my Management Research Report. I have changed my title numerous times as i was worried it was too broad/not detailed enough/would i have enough to speak about... and for the moment, I have settled on: 

What benefit could the use of a pay grade structure bring to the level of motivation (or engagement if this better suits?) for employees at ...?

First of all, does the way this title is phrased make sense? Or do you think it can be worded slightly differently?

Secondly, has anyone had any experience of this?

Any finally, if this is something you have looked into or previously researched for your organisations/studies, would you recommend any books/research that has already been done around this topic?

Thank you so much for reading this far, and any help/guidance is much appreciated!

Kindest regards

  • Nice replies already!

    I would add that the question of motivation goes beyond pay grades and covers any job grading system. In many (private) organisations wher promtion is on merit as opposed to years of service - in addition to more basic pay, a change in job grade usually includes, in addition:

    • Greater responsibilities and potential for jincreased ob satisfaction by facing new challenges
    • Recognition by the company that the person has added value
    • Possibly better benefits like : more holiday, better medical cover and/or sick pay, a company car or a better one....
    • Access to quarterly key manager meetings with th senior team  (highy valued and sought after)
    • Access to a bonus scheme or a larger bonus opportunity
    • Etc.

    Hope this helps
