績效薪是企業間常用的薪酬政策。企業相信藉由績效薪的發放,可以增進員工的外在工作動機與工作績效,但同時間卻也可能增進員工的冒風險傾向,而員工的冒風險傾向大小與工作績效之間的關係在不同學者之間則看法不一。因此,本研究將主要探討績效薪對工作績效、冒風險傾向、與外在工作動機之影響,並同時探討冒風險傾向、外在工作動機對工作績效的影響,以及冒風險傾向、外在工作動機對績效薪與工作績效的中介效果或調節效果影響。 本研究採取問卷調查方式,研究對象為在台灣工作的正職員工,問卷發放方式採取紙本問卷與網路問卷兩種方式,總體回收之有效問卷為523份。 經由信度分析、相關分析、與階層迴歸分析後,得出研究結果:(1)績效薪對工作績效、冒風險傾向、外在工作動機皆存在正向影響;(2)冒風險傾向、外在工作動機對工作績效皆存在正向影響;(3)冒風險傾向、外在工作動機為績效薪與工作績效的中介變項。 ;Pay for performance is a compensation policy that companies usually implement.
