ABSTRACT
Although jobs can be rewarding in a variety of ways (Landy, 1989; Warr, 1987), we would expect the pay people receive for their work to be among the most significant of these benefits, and indeed pay can have a considerable influence on employees’ behaviour. Empirical research has shown that pay can affect, among other things, their absenteeism and turnover (Lawler, 1971), and their personal well-being and mental health (Warr, 1987).
