讲座摘要：

Drawing from Bernstein’s (2017) transparency-privacy model, we theorize that firm-level pay transparency elicits a multi-step process involving managers and employees that shifts the dispersion in remuneration from more to less observable forms, thus making pay transparency a “moving target”. We posit a serial indirect effect of pay transparency on firm-level rates of i-deal grants (a less observable form of remuneration) via variable pay compression and heightened rates of employee i-deal requests, with this indirect effect amplified in firms characterized by collectivist shared values. We test the role of managerial agency and collectivist shared values in the pay transparency-compression relationship in a simulation-based experiment, and then test the overall model in a time-lagged, multi-source field study using a sample of 111 medical device distribution firms. Our findings demonstrate that: (a) firm-level pay transparency is predictive of greater pay compression, (b) firm-level rates of i-deal grants are largely explained by this pay compression via its effects on rates of employee i-deal requests, and (c) this sequential effect is amplified in firms characterized by more collectivist shared values. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
