Abstract
Using data from the 2017 Major League Soccer Season, this thesis investigates the relationship between salaries, individual player performance, nationality and previous career trajectory for player in the MLS. Through analysis of 6 model specifications, it is found that previous career trajectory, performance and nationality are all significant factors in salary determination. Further, it is concluded that the results of the model show that MLS franchises are in general allocating salaries efficiently relative to performance.

Full textAbstract:
This essay studies wage differentials between foreign born and native players in Swedish soccer. For this essay, panel data for the years 2001-2015 on all clubs and players in top Swedish soccer leagues Allvenskan and Superettan have been collected. The data is examined by applying a market-test approach to test for any significant wage differentials. The results show that foreign born players earn a significant salary premium compared to native players of similar productivity. There is no evidence of salary or fan discrimination against foreign born players. Results can be explained by market imperfections and/or risk-seeking behavior from team managers although this could be further investigated in future studies.

Hayden, Sat Ananda. "Wage Equality among Internationally Educated Nurses Working in the United States." ScholarWorks, 2011. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/1079.
Full textAbstract:
Discrimination against immigrants based on country of origin, gender, or race is known to contribute to wage inequality, lower morale, and decrease worker satisfaction. Healthcare leaders are just beginning to study the impact of gender and race on the wages of internationally educated nurses (IENs). Grounded in Becker's theory of discrimination, this cross-sectional study examined nursing wages for evidence of wage inequality among IENs working in the United States using secondary data collected in the 2008 quadrennial National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses. Ordinary least square regression coupled with the Blinder-Oaxaca wage decomposition was used to analyze the wages of 757 IENs working in the U.S. healthcare system. T tests with effect size were calculated to find the impact of gender, race, and country of education on wage. The study found that white male IENs earned higher wages than all other immigrant groups, followed by nonwhite males and nonwhite females (R2 = .143; F(8,748) = 15.60; p =.000;). White female IENs earned the least, at 80%, 88%, and 91% of wages earned by white male, nonwhite male, and nonwhite female IENs, respectively (p < .005). The relationship between hourly wage and being a white female was negative and statistically significant (p = .006) and white females earned 19.6% less per hour than white male IENs. Working in tertiary care contributed 21.60% of wages for white IENs and 10.30% of wages for nonwhite IENs. Inequality in nursing wages was related to an interaction between race and gender for wages of white female IENs but not in wages for nonwhite female IENs. Results of this study promote positive social change by motivating nursing departments to equalize wages and policymakers to strengthen equal pay statutes.

Full textAbstract:
In the 1980s, the American meat industry began restructuring both its domestic production methods and the distribution of its processing facilities. Many meat and poultry processing facilities have since been relocated into small rural communities. The red meat industry was once highly-paid and unionized, but now work in both meat and poultry processing is a dangerous, low-paid manufacturing job, heavily reliant on immigrant workers who must turn to local social services to supplement their wages and benefits. In an attempt to discover the manner in which the social relations of a specific locale may be enmeshed with global production, this research explored perceptions of social power and alliances after a rural community became host to a foreign workforce employed by the local poultry processing plant. On-site semi-structured interviews were conducted with sixteen local residents, and a content analysis of the community newspaper was undertaken.
The research found that as new production relations were inserted into the community, the society continued to reproduce and social relations remained relatively unchanged. The community's cultural standards and social infrastructure dictate that residents are respectful of authority, extend Christian charity to those less fortunate, and are generally accepting of a community known for low wages, low taxation, and low standards of education. Hegemonic ideologies seem to dictate the goals and beneficiaries of social power, and residents are unable to name any power vectors even in the face of sustained community support of, for example, the company that introduced the immigrant labor into the community. While there are indications of displeasure with the influx of immigrants appearing in the newspaper and the interviews, there are tangible examples that the community was proactive in welcoming the immigrants into their community. Thus, given that the last time elements of the community united around an issue was in the mid-1970s and no other issue has evoked any type of tangible struggle since then, there is no indication that any social alliances will be formed in reaction to changes in the community wrought by the globalization of its economy.

Geisler, Iris Arabella Cordula. "Her work, his play? The faculty salary structure at a Research I university." Diss., The University of Arizona, 1999. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/289084.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation contributes to three major issues in Labor Economics and Econometrics literature. The first contribution is providing new insights into panel-data techniques, the second is new findings on the relationship of women's and men's productivity and pay, and the third is a picture of the remuneration process for professors involved in research and teaching at a Research I University which is based on the detailed data set created for this study. Developing econometric panel data methodology, time-static information is added to a standard fixed effects model. In a setting where no suitable time-varying instruments for the time-static information can be found, it is necessary to calculate the estimates for those in a "second stage" fixed effects estimate. It will be shown that these second stage estimates are exactly equal to the pooled OLS estimates for the same model specification, but that the standard errors are different, and the second stage estimates are biased and inconsistent. Later, new tests for various components of the individual effects are conducted as well as tests to choose the best panel estimation method. Empirically, this work contributes to research on gender discrimination in pay, and its results affect more than the academic environment. So far, most studies were not able to include direct measures of productivity, and have assumed that the estimated gender gap represents an upper bound or overestimation of the real discrimination in pay. The results of this study show that this assumption is not necessarily correct. Looking specifically at the pay structure for university professors involved in teaching and research in a Research I University, several trends have been established. First, structural pay differences between colleges became very apparent, making a strong point against the usage of university-wide regression analysis. For the colleges of Business and Education, seniority lost much of its explanatory power in predicting salaries when publications were added to the analysis. Teaching awards were not rewarded at all in either college, but professors who did not teach were financially penalized.

Carrasco, Teodoro Enrique. "Assessing Administrative and Political Factors in Implementing a Living Wage Ordinance." FIU Digital Commons, 2008. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/9.
Full textAbstract:
Since 2000, the number of living wage ordinances has steadily increased throughout the country. While most of the current research has focused on the beneficial outcomes of living wages, little has been published on their administrative practices. To address this shortcoming, this study focused on the identification of key administrative and political factors involved impacting the implementation of living wage ordinances in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. The study utilized a triangulation of interviews, surveys, and direct observation. The author conducted interviews of administrators and members of the living wage oversight boards in both counties and observed the monthly meetings held by each county’s oversight board from January 2006 to June 2007. These findings were buttressed with a national survey of senior staff in other living wage communities. The study utilized descriptive statistics, Chi Square, Cronbach’s Alpha, and Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient (Spearman’s rho). Interviews indicated that administrators in Dade and Broward are seriously under-staffed and budgeted. Ambiguities in the enabling ordinances have lead to loopholes that undermine implementation and accountability for participating contractors. Survey results showed that policy ambiguity, organizational politics, and a lack of organizational capacity were significant negative factors in the implementation process while an organizational culture emphasizing consistent enforcement was a positive factor. Without the proper inputs, an organization hinders itself from meeting its outputs and outcomes. This study finds that Broward and Miami-Dade Counties do not provide the necessary administrative support to implement a living wage effectively – in stark contrast to the high hopes and strong political support behind their passage. For a living wage to succeed, it first needs an organizational culture committed to providing the necessary resources for implementation as well as transparent, consistent accountability mechanisms.

Full textAbstract:
Many people recognize inequity in educational resource allocation as a problem. It has been suggested this inequity stems from the consolidation of experienced teachers in low-poverty schools and higher teacher turnover rates at high-poverty schools. This paper uses an ordinary least-squares (OLS) regression to examine the relationship between school-level expenditures excluding teacher salary, and teacher turnover in New York City. The results of the analysis suggest that these expenditures have a statistically significant association with teacher turnover, and that, for the majority of them, increased spending is associated with less teacher turnover. The results also suggest that increased spending is associated with a higher level of teacher satisfaction, though the significance of this association is less consistent. These results could have policy implications for education researchers and practitioners concerned with improving fiscal equity through decreased turnover in high-poverty schools.

Nyaledzigbor, Gilbert. "Payroll Fraud: Effects of Ghost Names on the Government Wage Bill in Ghana." ScholarWorks, 2015. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/1571.
Full textAbstract:
Policy makers believe that there are ghost workers, persons who do not work yet receive salaries, on Ghana's public sector payroll. However, little is known about the factors that create opportunities for ghost workers. The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to extend Cressy's conceptualization of the fraud triangle theory to test the applicability of Reinikka and Svennson's graft estimation model by using nonprobability quota sampling to select 85 heads of public agencies for participation in a cross-sectional survey. The research questions focused on the relationship between size of government agency, the estimated number of opportunities for ghost workers, and the dependent variable of occurrence of ghost workers in the public sector in Ghana. Correlational and multiple regression analysis was used to discern the relationship between the independent variables of agency size and opportunities for ghost workers and the dependent variable of number of ghost workers. Results revealed a statistically significant, positive relationship between the number of opportunities for ghost workers and the number of ghost workers. However, there was a negative relationship between the size of government agencies and both the number of opportunities for ghost workers and the number of ghost workers. The implications for social change include recommendations to revise the Financial Administration Act of Ghana by introducing new controls in the payroll administration at the Controller and Accountant General's Department to eliminate ghost workers from the payroll so that public funds can be saved to provide more public services for Ghanaians.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the present status of classification/salary administration of office support personnel employed in the public schools of North Carolina. Although this study was limited to office support personnel positions, it had implications for all classified positions within the public schools. The purpose of the study was to provide information and develop recommendations for planning and establishing classification/salary administration policies for classified personnel. The recommendations addressed concerns identified through the review of literature, a questionnaire which was completed by administrators across the state, and interviews with administrators from five school systems. The results from this study indicated that superintendents, more often than other administrators, were responsible for classification/salary administration of office support personnel. The majority of office support personnel were classified in the lowest state classification levels. The criteria most often used for determination of classification levels was matching job description with state job classification level descriptions. The interview and observation methods were the two methods most often used for collecting job classification information. The majority of administrators believed: the local school systems should determine classification status, there should be a standardized performance appraisal instrument, there should be performance-based pay, and salaries of office support personnel were slightly lower than the local business community.
Uniformity issues were perceived to exist both internally with the respective school system and externally by comparison of school systems. As a result of this study, recommendations for school systems to follow in their classification/salary administration policies and procedures for classified personnel were developed. The ultimate aim of these recommendations was to eliminate some of the inconsistencies found to exist.Ed. D.

Wage subsidies are commonly used as a tool to reduce the cost of labour and lower the rate of unemployment. The purpose of this study is to analyse what factors influence the use of the New Start Jobs subsidy in the two hundred ninety municipalities of Sweden during 2019. The statistical program EViews was used in the analysis to provide insight into the expansive data set. Three key hypotheses were drawn up to explore different influencing factors including, municipal tax rates, share of foreign-born individuals and educational level. The results of this study can be used to further expand the use of this type of wage subsidy with the aim of expanded enrolment into the program and consequently reducing long-term unemployment.

A human capital model of salary determination is examined by using regression analysis on relevant personal and job characteristics of faculty members. A large portion of the wage gap between men and women is explained through differences in the personal and job characteristics. A portion of the wage gap remains unexplained, however, the probability of discrimination playing a substantial role in salary is very small.

Full textAbstract:
This quantitative study conducted by two students at Umeå University, studies if there are gender differences when it comes to salary and top positions in the accounting and auditing industry in Sweden. Previous studies have found that these differences, or gaps can relate to the glass ceiling theory. This theory is considered a phenomenon and a metephor wherein women can see through the glass to those top levels of the career ladder, but are unable to reach them as there is a ceiling, a gap, to prevent that from happening. Sweden is one of the most gender balanced countries in the world, but despite that the wage equality for similar work in Sweden is 74%. Since women with children work more often than men part-time, this leads to a less positive career, wage development and a poor pension for women. We analyzed previous studies to understand that the glass ceiling theory involved not only salary but also position inequalities based on gender. This information was used to create surveys which we sent electronically (via email) to auditors and accountants all over Sweden. This thesis is based on analysis of the survey and annual reports from 2017. Our results show that there are differences between gender when it comes to wages throughout the career ladder. Men have higher wages than women in the same positions. This applies to both office-level and up to executive positions. Differences in salaries between men and women also apply to both authorized and approved auditors when men have the higher average salary. That is also the same among those who had other leadership positions and among those who had a support function. We could not show major differences in top positions between genders. Most positions are gender balanced, which means that they are between 40-60%, except for at the CEO and partner level which is mostly men and the accounting manager position which is represented only by women. Our results show that there is gender-based inequality in salary but not in position; therefore, the glass ceiling theory is not currently in effect. This is important research as it not only expands knowledge of glass ceiling theory but also into the accounting and auditing fields. It found areas for improvement for both theoretical and practical use. We finish the thesis by referring to recommendations for future studies, such as focusing on lower levels and more accounting economics, authorised consultants, etc.With consideration to logit regressions for the binary leader variable:Even though Cotter's 4 criteria leader and Leader model 2 did not have the highest adjusted R2 with ols regression, it is important to see that in a logit regression, which is a more appropriate regression type since the leader variable is binary, that gender was not significant. Therefore, the conclusions remain the same.

Full textAbstract:
Att arbeta i olika typer av arbetsgrupper är idag vanligt förekommande i organisationer, och många företag tillämpar någon form av incitamentsprogram med rörlig lön för att motivera arbetsgrupperna till högre prestationer. Den forskning som finns är framförallt genomförd i laboratoriemiljö och undersöker hur individer påverkas av olika faktorer såsom andel rörlig lön och storlek på arbetsgrupper. Dock finns en brist på forskning som undersöker hur dessa program påverkar till exempel motivation och samarbete i verkliga miljöer. Syftet med denna studie är att studera hur incitamentsprogram för grupper kan utformas. Med studien vill vi ge företag ökad kunskap om hur de kan utforma incitamentsprogram för att öka prestationen i sina arbetsgrupper. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats. Semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med totalt 15 personer ur två säljorganisationer i ett tjänsteföretag med verksamhet spridd över hela Sverige. Genom intervjuerna har vi sökt få svar på hur olika aspekter av incitamentsprogram för grupper motiverar de individuella medarbetarna samt påverkar samarbetet. Respondenternas svar antyder att faktorer som gruppstorlek, andel rörlig lön och frekvens på utbetalningar alla påverkar hur medarbetare beskriver att de motiveras av incitamentsprogrammen. Därutöver har att ett tydligt syfte och klara spelregler framträtt som avgörande för hur incitamentsprogrammen tas emot av de anställda, vilket har föranlett oss att ge ett förslag på hur befintliga modeller kan kompletteras.Today it is very common to work in different types of teams in organizations, and companies are applying incentive programs with variable salary to motivate their teams to increase performance. Existing research is primarily done in laboratory environments and only analyzes how individuals are affected by various factors, such as share of variable salary and team size. However, previous studies are missing to investigate how these programs affect for instance, motivation and collaboration in real environments. The aim of this study is therefore to study how incentive programs for groups in can be designed. With this study we want to give companies a deeper understanding for how they can design incentive programs to increase the performance in their teams. The study has a qualitative approach. Semi-structured interviews have been performed with a total of 15 persons from two sales organizations in a service company with its business spread over the whole of Sweden. Through the interviews we searched for answers to how different aspects of team-based incentive programs motivate the individual employees and how they affect collaboration. The respondent’s answers suggest that factors such as size of the team, share of variable salary and frequency of payments, all affect how employees describe how they are motivated by the incentive program. In addition, a clear purpose and a set of rules emerged as vital parts for how the incentive program will be received by the employees. This led us to propose how existing models may be complemented. The language of this thesis is Swedish.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a relationship between level of funding and achievement of school systems in Tennessee based on the standards of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001. This study focused on Tennessee school systems and their adequate yearly progress (AYP) status of "targeted" or "good standing" from 2007 through 2009. Federal, state, and local funding, as well as per-pupil expenditure, average teacher salary, and number of students, were used as variables. All data were gathered from the Tennessee Department of Education website.
The researcher performed 6 independent samples t-tests and one chi square analysis. The study showed significant differences in the means of federal, state, and local funding levels between targeted systems and systems in good standing. Targeted systems received more federal, state, and local funding than systems in good standing from 2007 through 2009. The study showed no significant difference in mean per-pupil expenditures between targeted systems and systems in good standing. The study showed a significant difference in the mean teacher salaries. Targeted systems had higher teacher salaries than systems in good standing from 2007 through 2009. The study also showed a significant difference in the mean number of students between targeted systems and systems in good standing. Targeted systems had more students than systems in good standing.
The findings indicate that targeted systems are receiving as much funding as systems in good standing. To help control for the number of students in each system, the two groups (targeted and in good standing) were compared using per-pupil federal, state and local dollars. The analysis indicated no significant difference between targeted systems and systems in good standing for federal money. The analysis did indicate a significant difference between the two groups for state and local money. However, for state money systems in good standing had the higher mean and for local money, targeted systems had the higher mean. Mean per-pupil expenditures were relatively equal between targeted systems and systems in good standing. System size, based on the number of students, showed a significant relationship with the NCLB status of a system. The mean number of students in targeted systems was more than 3 times as large as systems in good standing (17,656 to 5,284). Also, a group of systems with over 4,445 students had over 5 times the number of targeted systems than a group of systems with fewer than 2,094 students.

A tese elabora novos fundamentos para a teoria jurídica do salário, a partir da problematização e refutação das diversas concepções analíticas que reduzem o salário àquela dúplice perspectiva traçada pela doutrina clássica: a subordinação da força do trabalho ao capital e a compra e venda da força de trabalho. Na primeira parte, traça as visões da economia política clássica, da teoria marxista e da doutrina da igreja sobre o salário. Na segunda, narra as concepções sedimentadas pela teoria jurídico-trabalhista tradicional acerca do tema, além daquelas acolhidas pela OIT, a União Européia, o MERCOSUL, as normas internacionais e a posição da autora sobre o trabalho subordinado como objeto do direito o trabalho. Uma vez percorridas essas diretrizes, o estudo, na terceira parte, demonstra como a teoria jurídico-trabalhista crítica e as teorias sócias vêm salário, em meio a uma sociedade do trabalho em crise. Em seguida, enquadra as metamorfoses do trabalho em termos de dualização do assalariado, das evidências empíricas e do corte analítico que cuidam de redimensionar a crise o trabalho e do salário. Com base na Economia Solidária, na Renda Universal Garantida, na Teoria do Decrescimento e lançando mão de três princípios formulados pelo professor Everaldo Gaspar Andrade, a autora da tese expõe a sua proposta para reconfiguração da teoria jurídica do salário, com base na inversão da perspectiva salário patamar mínimo de sobrevivência para salário Condições Civilizatórias de Existência. Por fim, apresenta os nos seguintes pressupostos do salário: fontes, denominações, conceito, classificação, natureza jurídica e princípios.
This thesis draws up new grounds for the legal theory of wage composition, having its starting point at the questioning and refutation of various analytical concepts that reduce the salary to a dual perspective outlined by the classical doctrine: the subordination of the labor force to capital and the purchase and sale of labor power. The first part outlines the views of classical political economy, Marxist theory and the church doctrine of wages. The second narrates the views sedimented by traditional legal-labor theory on the subject, in addition to those accepted by the ILO, the European Union, Mercosur, international standards and the position of the author on the subordinate work as the object of labour law. Once covered these guidelines, the third part of the study shows how the legal-labor theory and critical members theories have earnings, amid a labor society in crisis. Then, fits the metamorphoses of the work in terms of dualization of wage, of the empirical evidence and of the analytical cut that resizes the crisis work and salary. Based on Solidarity Economy in Guaranteed Universal Income in ingrowth theory and making use of three principles formulated by Professor Everaldo Gaspar Andrade, the author of the thesis presents its proposal for reconfiguration of the legal theory of salary, based on the inversion of perspective wage minimum survival level for salary conditions civilizing Existence. Finally, it presents the following assumptions salary: sources, denominations, concept, classification, legal principles and nature.

Full textAbstract:
Focus County School District in the Mideast United States experienced a 12% teacher turnover rate over the last 2 years. The purpose of this study was to explore those factors that led to teachers leaving the district. Bandura's social cognitive theory was the guiding theory to examine and explain those factors that contributed to the district's teachers' attrition. Using narrative inquiry, the teachers' thick descriptions of their experiences were collected through the interview process. The data consisted of 9 personal interviews of teachers who left the district. .The data were analyzed and coded through the 6-part LaBovian model of abstract, orientation, complicating action, evaluation, result, and coda. The semistructured interviews were analyzed with thematic analysis of the interviews. The 4 themes, developed inductively, were (a) lack of administrative support, (b) mentoring, (c) teacher preparation, and (d) salary. The results of the study prompted questions about how teacher careers might be sustained by considering each person's narrative stories. A policy paper project was created based on the findings of the study. The policy paper addresses teacher turnover in Focus County schools and ways to mitigate the turnover crisis. Positive social change will result from the school district being better positioned to improve teacher stability. Through increased teacher stability, the students will be situated for improved instruction.

Full textAbstract:
An important issue that managers are facing in today’s intensive business environment is how to compensate their employees to keep them motivated. The trend is to be rewarded for the individual performances, which has increased the usage of commission based salary systems. Previous research suggests that commission salary provokes internal competition, while it damages cooperation. However, the main issue in feminine and masculine societies is what motivates people, which indicates that the effects of commission based salary systems needed to be examined from a cultural perspective. Therefore, with the main aim was to enhance the understanding of this, the problem was addressed by the overreaching research question: How do commission based salary systems affect cooperation and internal competition in masculine and in feminine societies? To answer this, empirical data was acquired from Sweden and the United States. Sweden is recognized as the most feminine society, where social motives are dominating. The United States on the other hand, is recognized as a masculine society that encourages competition and where money is the main motivator. The empirical data derived from personal interviews with real estate agents that work with commission salary. Three case companies within each country were included in the study and three interviewees within each company participated. The findings showed that commission salary tends to increase the work effort, limit the cooperation, while it increases the internal competition. Nevertheless, the effects it has distinctively differs between the societies. In Sweden, the importance of group cohesion and interpersonal relationship results in a higher level of cooperation than in the United States. Despite that commission salary evokes internal competition, colleagues are colleagues above all in Sweden. In the United States however, cooperation mainly occurs when it serves the individual performances. Here, money and the own success are what matter the most and due to the competitive mindset, internal competition becomes significantly more intensive in the United States than in Sweden. In contrary to Sweden, commission salary can turn colleagues into competitors, for better or for worse.Master thesis

Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies how decision-making might work in an organization without a predetermined formal decision-maker. By studying three selected areas in organizational decision making at a flat organization, the way decisions are made without a formal decision-maker is presented. The study includes an analysis of what factors drive decisions and possible effects of the flat organizational approach. This thesis focuses on decisions regarding wage-setting, recruitment, and the setting of long-term goals. The study finds several relevant conditions which contribute to making a flat organization's decision-making system possible, including organizational culture and transparency. The study indicates that cultural fit is an important aspect in maintaining a flat structure at an organization. To access data, in order to examine the principles of decisions, study at Menlo Innovations has been performed. The core of the study relies on semi-structured interviews with the employees, a virtual tour of the organization, a pre-recorded interview with Menlo representatives, and additional articles and documents. This data has helped the thesis answer how decision-making in the areas of wage-setting, recruitment, and the setting of long-term goals, might work in an organization without a predetermined formal decision-maker.

Sammanfattning Kurs: Ämnesfördjupande arbete, Ekonomistryning 15 hp (2FE24E) Titel: Provisionsbaserad ersättning för fastighetsmäklare “Kan provision ses som ett belöningssystem och motivationsdrivare?” Författare: Anna Lennartsson, Amanda Jönsson & Ebba Waldau Examinator: Pia Nylinder Handledare: Cristoffer Lokatt Bakgrund och problem: En vanlig syn på yrket som fastighetsmäklare anses för många vara ett mer statusyrke än slitsamt yrke. Det finns inga specifika regler för den utbetalda provisionens storlek till en fastighetsmäklare och grundidén för provision hänvisas till att individer skall motiveras av att kunna påverka vad de får i lön och därmed utföra ett bättre arbete. För att individer skall utföra ett bättre arbete, kan ett belöningssystem vara optimalt eftersom det kan fungera till att förändra beteenden. För att kunna förändra beteende måste individen känna motivation, som tillkommer av olika belöningar. Det intressanta i studien blir därmed att undersöka om provision är motiverande och om hur fastighetsmäklare resonerar till provision som ett belöningssystem. Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats grundar sig i att undersöka fastighetsmäklarens syn på att ha en hundraprocentig provisionsbaserad lön. Vi vill undersöka fastighetsmäklares resonemang kring provision som ett belöningssystem. Slutligen vill vi analysera hur provisionen påverkar fastighetsmäklares motivation, utifrån teori modellen Maslows behovstrappa. Metod: Studien baseras på en kvalitativ struktur och den empiriska datainsamlingen kommer från sex etablerade fastighetsmäklare runt om i Sverige. Intervjuformen som valdes var semistrukturerad intervju som genomfördes digitalt genom programvaran Zoom med samtliga respondenter. I metoden presenteras även en kort beskrivning på yrket som fastighetsmäklare. Slutsats: Sammanfattningsvis kan vi konstatera att fastighetsmäklarnas resonemang på provision som belöningssystem är olika. De anser att provision är ett belöningssystem eftersom den provisionen de får är en belöning för det utförda arbetet. Andra resonerar däremot att provision inte är ett belöningssystem för att det anser att provisionen är den inkomst som alla har rätt till efter utförd prestation. Här ligger fokuset allt mer på den icke monetära belöningen, som mer handlar om status, ranking, rekommendationer och nöjda kunder för det är detta som belönar respondenterna till en maximerad prestation. Provisionen kan därmed konstateras vara motiverande för vissa respondenter eftersom de motiveras av provisionens påverkan på dess lön beroende på deras utförda prestation. Men alla respondenter ser inte provisionen som den huvudsakliga motivationen eftersom en nöjd och återkommande kund är det som ger motivation till yrket som fastighetsmäklare. Nyckelord: Belöningssystem, provision, motivation, fastighetsmäklare, finansiella incitament, flexibelt lönesystem, rörlig ersättning och Maslows behovstrappa.Abstract Course: Bachelor Thesis, Financial Control, 15 hp (2FE24E) Title: Commission based compensation for real estate agents "Can commission-based salary be seen as a reward system and motivator?" Authors: Anna Lennartsson, Amanda Jönsson & Ebba Waldau Examiner: Pia Nylinder Advisor: Cristoffer Lokatt Background and problem discussion: A common view of the profession as a real estate agent is considered by many to be a more status profession than a tiring profession. There are no specific rules for the size of the commission based salary paid to a real estate agent and the basic idea for commission based salary is referred to that individuals should be motivated by being able to influence what they get in salary and thereby perform a better job. For individuals to do a better job, a reward system can be optimal because it can work to change behaviours. To be able to change behaviour, the individual must feel motivated, which is added by different rewards. The interesting thing about the study will thus be to investigate whether commissions- based salary is motivating and how real estate agents’ reason for commissions as a reward system. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is based on examining the real estate agent's view of having a one hundred percent commission-based salary. We want to examine real estate agents' reasoning about commissions-based salary as a reward system. Finally, we want to analyse how the commission-based salary affects real estate agents' motivation, based on the theory model Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Method: The study is based on a qualitative structure and the empirical data collection comes from six established real estate agents around Sweden. The interview format chosen was a semi-structured interview that was conducted digitally through the Zoom software with all respondents. The method also presents a brief description of the profession as a real estate agent. Conclusion: In summary, we can state that the real estate agents' reasoning on commission-based salary as a reward system is different. They believe that commission-based salary is a reward system because the commission-based salary they receive is a reward for the work done. Others argue, however, that commission-based salary is not a reward system because it considers the commission to be the income to which everyone is entitled after performance. Here the focus is increasingly on the non-monetary reward, which is more about status, rankings, recommendations and satisfied customers because this is what rewards the respondents to a maximized performance.The commission-based salary can thus be found to be motivating for certain respondents because they are motivated by the commission's impact on its salary depending on their performance. But not all respondents see commission-based salary as the main motivation because a satisfied and returning customer is what gives motivation to the profession as a real estate agent. Keywords: Reward system, commission-based salary, motivation, real estate agent, financial incentives, a flexible salary system, variable compensation and Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Previous issue date: 2010-12-20This study integrates the line of research State and Education Policy of the Program of Post-graduation in Education from Faculdade de Educação, Universidade Federal de Goiás. It has as its object of study the implementation of the Minimum Wage of Professional of the Magisterium (PSPN) in public field schools of Goiás. It aims to analyze the implementation of public policy for salary enhancement and highlighting the conflicts and highlighting the conflicts and limits that permeate the boundaries of the case. Using the bibliographic and documental search, this study concern is to describe the route of PSPN since the 1988 Federal Constitution, to the approval of the Law No. 11.738/2008 and empirically analyzes its implementation in the public state of Goias in 2009 establishing a relation between the financial years of 2008 and 2010. The guiding questions of the study include the analysis of the Law of the Minimum and its relation to other legal rules, the sufficiency of the Government of Goiás for implementation from the revenue and expenditure considered for the Development of Education (MDE), the relationship with the Fund for the Development of Basic Education and Appreciation of the Teaching Profession (Fundeb), the ratio of the number of students served by the number of teachers paid by the network and how to participate in the implementation process of the minimum wage as important agents of the Union Education Workers State of Goiás (Sintego), the Court of Goiás (GO-TEC), the State Council Fundeb (Confundeb), the Legislative Assembly and the government itself. The major conflicts involving the deployment of the minimum wage in the public state of Goias refer to the way that legislation is interpreted with emphasis on the mechanism used by the government to "fulfill" the Law: to divide the minimum wage into a deployment phase, 17 monthly and update it in another stage of four monthly pareels. There is also a conflict about the value of minimum wage: CNTE and for the Sintego PSPN in 2010 would be worth R $ 1,312.00 and for the government, based on interpretation of the Attorney General of the Union (AGU), the value is R$ 1.024,00. Insufficient financial, the adequation for a Career Plan in effect, how the expenses are treated with MDE, the low student / teacher ratio in the network and competition policies to expand the student's school time are major factors limiting progress in implementation of PSPN Goiás Despite the fragmentation of its implementation the minimum wage presents as a mechanism for enhancement of teachers' payment. As the government of Goiás has not complied strictly with the established subdivision, the starting salary paid in November 2010 was R $ 1,006.25, representing a growth of 40.6% compared to February 2009. Nevertheless, disregarding the inflation period, gauged according to a real increase of more than 30%. As a recent happening it was not possible to verify whether the implementation of the minimum wage had the effect desired by the researchers who advocate this policy of upgrading of teachers' payment which, among others, is set to attract and retain good candidates for teaching, and fighting multiexpedient and underemployment. However based on the years 2009 and 2010 in which case the implementation of this policy in public state of Goias, the minimum wage appears, along with the Career Plan in force, as a promoter of better salaries for the public teaching of basic education.
Este estudo integra a linha de pesquisa Estado e Políticas Educacionais do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Faculdade de Educação, Universidade Federal de Goiás. Possui como objeto a implantação do Piso Salarial Profissional Nacional do Magistério (PSPN) na rede pública estadual de Goiás. Objetiva analisar a implantação dessa política pública de valorização salarial docente destacando os conflitos e os limites que permeiam o campo de estudo. Utilizando da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, este estudo de caso preocupa-se em descrever o itinerário do PSPN, da Constituição Federal de 1988 até a aprovação da Lei do Piso (Lei nº 11.738/2008), e analisar empiricamente sua implantação na rede pública estadual de Goiás no ano de 2009 estabelecendo relação com os exercícios financeiros de 2008 e 2010. As questões norteadoras do estudo contemplam, dentre outros, a análise da Lei do Piso e sua relação com outras normas legais, a suficiência financeira para implantação, a relação com o Fundo de Manutenção e Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica e de Valorização dos Profissionais da Educação (Fundeb) e a relação do número de alunos atendidos pelo número de professores da rede. Os principais conflitos que envolvem a implantação do Piso na rede pública estadual de Goiás referem-se à forma como a legislação é interpretada com destaque para o mecanismo utilizado pelo governo para cumprir a Lei: fragmentar a implantação do Piso em dezessete parcelas mensais e posteriormente atualizá-lo n‟outra etapa de quatro parcelas. Outro conflito refere-se ao valor do Piso: para a Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores em Educação (CNTE) e o Sindicato dos Trabalhadores em Educação de Goiás (Sintego), o PSPN em 2010 deveria ser de R$ 1.312,00 enquanto que para o governo do estado, tendo como referência a interpretação da Advocacia Geral da União (AGU), o valor do Piso corresponde a R$ 1.024,00. A insuficiência financeira, a adequação ao Plano de Carreira vigente, a forma como as despesas com Manutenção e Desenvolvimento do Ensino (MDE) são tratadas, a baixa proporção alunos/professor na rede e a concorrência das políticas de ampliação do tempo escolar do aluno são fatores limitadores da implantação do PSPN em Goiás. Apesar do parcelamento de sua implantação, o Piso se apresenta como mecanismo de valorização salarial do magistério. Como o governo de Goiás não cumpriu rigorosamente o parcelamento estabelecido, o vencimento inicial pago em novembro de 2010 foi de R$ 1.006,25, mesmo assim representando um crescimento de 40,6% em relação a fevereiro de 2009 onde, desprezando a inflação do período, pode-se aferir um aumento real superior a 30%. Por ser recente, não foi possível verificar se a implantação do Piso teve o efeito desejado pelos pesquisadores que defendem essa política de valorização salarial do magistério que, dentre outros, consta atrair e manter bons candidatos à docência e combater a multijornada e o subemprego. Entretanto, baseando-se em 2009 e 2010 quando acontece sua implantação na rede pública estadual goiana, o Piso aparece, aliado ao Plano de Carreira vigente, como indutor de melhoria salarial para o magistério público da educação básica.
