Survey details profit-sharing plans: is revealing allocation formulas a performance incentive?

Article Abstract:

Profit-sharing is a topic which has been given less attention by business reseachers. Although this type of compensation design has long been in existence, compensation specialists still do not know whether it affects employee performance or not. Company managers must realize that there are situations wherein revealing allocation formulas to employees can be advantageous to them. However, discussing defined and discretionary formulas to workers has its merits and drawbacks.
