Crowding‐out or crowding‐in? Direct voice, performance‐related pay, and organizational innovation in European firms

Abstract: Building on motivation crowding theory (MCT), this article contributes to the human resources management (HRM)‐innovation debate by examining the potential trade‐offs between HRM practices targeted to increase employees' intrinsic motivation, such as direct employee voice (EV), and the presence of extrinsic incentives in the form of individual and collective performance‐related pay (PRP). The results of the analysis on more than 22,000 European establishments show support for the positive relationship between … Show more

“…group-bonus or profit-sharing) PRP schemes positively influence a firm’s propensity for product and process innovation. These findings support previous studies suggesting that pay incentives should be considered among the most relevant strategic HRM practices in smaller contexts (Balkin, 1988; Hayton, 2005; Heneman et al, 2000; Way, 2002), and contrast existing evidence on large firms showing that individual PRP may be detrimental to innovation (De Spiegelaere et al, 2018; Della Torre, et al, 2020). One reason for the relevance of PRP schemes in SMEs relates to the differences that typically characterise their pay systems compared to those of larger firms.…”

“…For collective PRP , we created an index ranging from 0 to 2 based on the presence (0 = no; 1 = yes) of ‘variable extra pay linked to the performance of the team, working group, or department’ and/or ‘variable extra pay linked to the results of the company or establishment (profit-sharing scheme)’. The use of dummies to assess the presence/absence of different forms of PRP is common in the compensation literature (Curran and Walsworth, 2014; De Spiegelaere et al, 2018; Della Torre et al, 2020) and SME research (Patel and Conklin, 2012; Sels et al, 2006; Way, 2002). Specifically, Patel and Conklin (2012) argued that, because SMEs lack infrastructures and formal procedures for HR, it is difficult to clearly understand the usage and assess the effectiveness of individual practices and thus, ‘a continuous scale for each practice may be less valid and reliable than a binary coding approach’ (p. 216).…”
