Classical economists argue that wages—the price of labor—are determined (like all prices) by supply and demand. They call this the market theory of wage determination.
Wage theories - compensation management - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
Classical economists argue that wages—the price of labor—are determined (like all prices) by supply and demand. They call this the market theory of wage determination.
1. The wage fund theory advocated by John Stuart Mill assumes that the supply of labor is fixed and demand for labor consists of a fixed sum determined by capitalist employers, with demand determined by the size of the wage fund.
2. The standard of living theory advocated by Karl Marx assumes that wages should allow workers to support themselves and their families and live comfortably according to societal standards.
3. The bargaining theory proposed by John Davidson assumes that wages are determined by the relative bargaining power of employers and employees.
Subsistence theory – wage theories - compensation management - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
This theory propounded by the economists in the 18th century was later explained by David Ricardo.
This theory is based on two assumptions, namely,
(a) The law of diminishing return applies to industry.
(b) There is a rapid increase in population.
This document discusses various theories of wages and wage differentials. It begins by defining wages and providing historical context on the development of wage labor. It then outlines several theories of how wages are determined, including subsistence theory, wage fund theory, marginal productivity theory, residual claimant theory, bargaining theory of wages, and surplus value theory. The document also discusses concepts like money wages, real wages, and compensating wage differentials. Finally, it examines different types of wage differentials such as occupational differentials, inter-firm differentials, inter-area differentials, and inter-industry differentials.
The document discusses several theories of wages:
1. General Theory of Wages argues that decreasing overall wages allows employers to hire more employees and create more job opportunities, but ignores motivational benefits of higher wages and potential buying power.
2. Efficiency Wage Theory claims productivity depends positively on wages, with higher wages incentivizing workers through models like shirking, gift-exchange, and fair wage-effort.
3. Investment Theory by H.M. Gitelman proposes workers are paid according to their education, experience, and training investments.
The document discusses various economic and behavioral theories of wages, including:
1) Early wage theories included the wage fund theory (1870-1914) and marginal productivity theory (1914-present), which involve wages being determined by demand and supply of labor.
2) Behavioral theories of motivation include equity theory, expectancy theory, and agency theory, which examine how motivation and wages can align employer and employee goals.
3) Wage differentials refer to differences in pay based on skills, industries, occupations, sectors, regions, and personal characteristics, and aim to incentivize workers.
Wage theories explain how wages are determined. Historically, the subsistence theory viewed wages as only enough to provide basic sustenance. Modern wage theory sees wages as the price of labor set by the interaction of labor demand and supply in the market. Demand for labor depends on factors like productivity, technology, and demand for products, while supply relates to the number of available workers. Under competitive conditions, equilibrium wages are reached at the point where the labor demand and supply curves intersect.

This document outlines 8 economic theories of wages: 1) Subsistence Theory, 2) Wages Fund Theory, 3) Residual Claimant Theory, 4) Surplus Value Theory, 5) Marginal Productivity Theory, 6) Bargaining Theory of Wages, 7) Employment Theory, and 8) Competitive Theory. It provides a brief description of each theory, including key assumptions and economists associated with each view of how wages are determined.
1) The document discusses wage determination in the English Blood Service (NHS BT), which employs 6,500 people across various occupational groups in blood donation and transplantation.
2) The median basic pay is £15,069 and mean pay is £19,019, with the majority of employees in lower paid roles like donor carers and lab support staff.
3) Wage determination is analyzed using theories of social structure, the interplay between social actors like unions and management, and how these mechanisms operate differently in organizations.
The Wages Fund theory developed by Adam Smith and later expanded by Karl Marx and David Ricardo states that the total wages paid to laborers is fixed, or determined by the total capital invested in wages. As the labor supply increases, the average wages will decrease as the fixed wages fund is divided among more workers. The theory also argues that average wages will decline with increases in population and rise as the wages fund is enlarged or the labor supply decreases. However, the theory does not adequately explain variations in wages between different levels, regions, or account for differences in worker efficiency.
A Criticism of Efficiency Wage Models pkconference
This document provides a criticism of efficiency wage models from a heterodox perspective. It argues that wage stability is an integral feature of businesses, not a cause of unemployment as efficiency wage theorists claim. The document outlines an alternative heterodox approach involving market governance, organizational design, and decision making to explain wage setting and stability. Wages are set through "community wage surveys" conducted by businesses in cartels and adjusted semi-annually or annually for cost stability, not in response to market prices or unemployment.
This document discusses key concepts related to the theory of labour, including:
- The definition of labour and how it differs from other factors of production.
- The concept of division of labour and how it leads to increased specialization and output.
- Factors that influence the mobility, size, and structure of the labour force such as birth rates, death rates, and migration patterns.
- Key labour force metrics like the dependency ratio and participation rate.
This document provides an overview of different theories of wages. It discusses subsistence theory, which states that wages will tend toward the minimum needed to keep workers alive. Wages fund theory argues wages are paid from a predetermined fund. Surplus value theory says workers are paid less than the value they create, with the surplus going to expenses. Residual claimant theory views labor as the residual claimant to the value created after other factors are paid. Marginal productivity theory holds that wages are determined by how much value workers add at the margin.
Purchasing power theory– wage theories - compensation management - Manu Melw...manumelwin
The purchasing power theory of wages concerns the relationship between wages, employment, and the business cycle. It argues that changes in wages will significantly impact consumption since wages make up a large percentage of national income. If wages fall more quickly than prices, real wages and consumption will decrease, leading to higher unemployment unless total spending increases through government investment. Conversely, if wages fall less quickly than prices, real wages and consumption may rise as long as investment remains stable, boosting total spending and employment. The theory gained prominence during the Great Depression when simply lowering wages did not increase employment as previously believed.
Wage fund theory – wage theories - compensation management - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
This theory was developed by Adam Smith and was further expounded by J.S.Mill.
J.S. Mill said that wages mainly depend upon demand for and supply of labour or the proportion between population and capital available.
A "wage determination" is the listing of wage rates and work benefit rates for each classification of labourers and mechanics. This is determined by skill, effort, knowledge, experience etc.
In this presentation, we will understand concept theories and types of wages, compensations and earnings.

Behavioral theory – wage theories compensation management - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
Many behavioural scientists — notably psychologists and sociologists- like March and Simon, Robert Dubin, Eliot Jacques—have presented their views on wages and salaries on the basis of research studies and action programmes conducted by them.
Bargaining theory – wage theories - compensation management- Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
John Davidson propounded this theory. Under this theory, wages are determined by the relative bargaining power of workers of their union and of employers.
This document discusses key concepts related to wages and compensation management. It defines wages, salaries and earnings and outlines the objectives of compensation programs such as maintaining equity and creating skilled workforces. It also examines factors that influence wage determination like ability to pay, demand and supply, prevailing market rates and cost of living. Methods of wage payment like time rates, piece rates and incentive plans are covered. The importance of wages and salary administration for attracting employees and ensuring satisfaction is also discussed.
This document summarizes eight major theories of wages:
1) Subsistence theory argues wages are determined by the cost of basic needs.
2) Standard of living theory states wages are determined by workers' standard of living.
3) Wage fund theory claims wages are paid from a predetermined fund created by savings.
4) Residual claimant theory views wages as the remainder after other costs are paid.
5) Marginal productivity theory contends wages equal workers' marginal productivity.
6) Bargaining theory argues unions and employers determine wages through negotiations.
7) Behavioral theories examine social and psychological factors influencing wages.
8) Modern theory treats wages as the price of labor set by demand and supply

Theories of Unemployment, Philip Curve and its ControversiesMohit Sehal
This document discusses theories of unemployment including types of unemployment like frictional, structural, seasonal, and cyclical unemployment. It also discusses concepts like the natural rate of unemployment, disguised unemployment, efficiency wages, Okun's law, and the Phillips curve. The Phillips curve shows the relationship between inflation and unemployment in the short run and long run. Economists like Friedman, Phelps, Tobin, and Solow have criticized the Phillips curve, arguing that there is no long-run tradeoff between inflation and unemployment.
The document discusses labour markets and includes two parts. Part 1 discusses the supply and demand of labour and wage determination. The supply of labour depends on the wage rate and is generally upward sloping. The demand for labour is derived from the demand for the product/service. Factors like productivity and costs also impact demand. Wages are determined by the intersection of supply and demand. Part 2 will discuss labour market failures.
Wage determination and government intervention on private sectorsSayotters
This document discusses industrial relations and wage determination in Malaysia. It covers the different types of wages like subsistence, living and fair wages. Minimum wage levels are determined by authorities using various criteria. While employers see wages as labor costs, workers define wages as direct payments received. The government has introduced reforms like the National Wage Consultation Council to improve wage determination and collective bargaining between employers and workers.
Theories of Unemployment, Philip Curve and its ControversiesMohit Sehal
This document discusses various theories related to unemployment, including:
1) Definitions of unemployment from various sources such as ILO and types of unemployment such as frictional, structural, seasonal, and cyclical.
2) Theories like efficiency wages, where increasing wages can increase productivity, and Okun's law relating GDP growth and unemployment changes.
3) The Phillips curve showing the relationship between inflation and unemployment and criticisms of the Phillips curve like it only applying in the short run.
4) Different views on the Phillips curve such as Friedman's vertical long run view, Tobin's kinked curve view, and Solow's vertical at positive inflation view.
Vskills Certified compensation and benefits manager brochureVskills
The document provides information about the Certified Compensation and Benefits Manager certification from Vskills. It describes the objectives of the certification in assessing candidates' knowledge of compensation practices like ensuring fair pay and compliance with laws. It notes that the certification can help candidates seeking new jobs or promotions to prove their skills. It provides details about the test format, fees, and the types of companies that hire certified professionals.
Compensation refers to the total remuneration provided to employees in return for work, including both financial and non-financial benefits. The main components of compensation are wages/salaries and employer social contributions. Compensation is influenced by factors like business strategy, labour markets, economy, and legal considerations. Theories of remuneration include need-based pay, market-based pay, and perception-based pay. Strategic compensation aims to motivate employees through a balanced pay mix beyond usual costs. Job evaluation systematically compares jobs to assess their relative worth and establish an equitable pay structure.

This document provides an overview of different market structures: pure competition, pure monopoly, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly. It defines each structure and discusses their key characteristics. Pure competition is characterized by many small sellers, homogeneous products, perfect information and mobility. A pure monopoly has a single seller, large barriers to entry, and wields substantial influence over prices. Monopolistic competition involves many sellers of differentiated products. Oligopoly is dominated by a small number of interdependent firms. The document also outlines the assumptions of each market structure model and provides examples.
This document discusses compensation management in Nepal. It begins by defining compensation management and outlining its goals of rewarding performance. It then describes the different components of compensation, including direct payments, benefits, and incentives. It discusses the objectives, characteristics, types, and principles of compensation systems. It outlines various theories related to compensation and the process of compensation management. It also analyzes Nepal's current practices in areas like job analysis, compensation determination, performance-based pay, and social dialogue. It concludes by identifying requirements for an effective compensation system in Nepal, such as a human resource strategy, information systems, a harmonized compensation plan, and performance-based compensation.
The document discusses key aspects of human resource management including:
1. Human resource planning involves forecasting staffing needs, analyzing jobs, and matching supply and demand.
2. The staffing process includes recruitment, selection, and orienting new employees.
3. Developing employees involves training, performance appraisal, and promotion or transfer opportunities.
4. Compensation and benefits include direct pay, indirect benefits, and motivation theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
The role of compensation in employee engagementWilliam Gould
This document discusses the role of compensation in employee engagement. It argues that traditional views of using compensation to directly drive performance are misguided based on behavioral research. Compensation alone does not motivate employees in complex work. Rather than trying to influence behaviors, compensation strategies should aim to maintain fairness and take pay "off the table" as a retention issue. True engagement depends more on factors like autonomy, learning opportunities, meaningful work, and quality leadership. The focus should be on organizational development rather than assuming money can change behaviors.
A global pharmaceutical company was losing executives in their mid-thirties to competitors. An investigation found this was due to compensation issues, as the company focused on long-term incentives and post-retirement benefits rather than current pay. It was recommended that the compensation package be redesigned to increase take-home pay for younger employees by reducing deferred benefits. The document then provides an overview of compensation management principles, theories, and practices.
Session 2 covers compensation and benefits, including various Indian labor acts that regulate wages, bonuses, and benefits. It discusses theories of motivation and how they relate to compensation design. Collective bargaining and wage boards, which set wage standards, are also covered. The key benefits and penalties included in the Minimum Wages Act, Payment of Wages Act, and Employees' State Insurance Act are summarized.
This document discusses compensation and benefits programs. It begins by introducing the importance of having attractive compensation and benefits to motivate employees and reduce turnover. It then defines key terms like compensation, benefits, and compensation management. It outlines the goals of compensation management programs and different compensation theories. The document also discusses factors that affect salary ranges, the importance of developing a compensation administration program (CAP), and the steps to develop a CAP. Finally, it discusses some common issues in compensation management.
Concept of Entrepreneur and EntrepreneurshipSheetal Wagh
An entrepreneur is one who undertakes the risk of investment to create and market a good or service for financial gains. Entrepreneurship is defined as the capacity and willingness to develop, organize, and manage a business venture along with any of its risks in order to make a profit. Successful entrepreneurs are perceptive, take advantage of business opportunities, and are willing to take risks to generate high profits. They provide important benefits to the economy such as employment, goods/services, and economic growth. However, entrepreneurship also carries risks such as business failure or difficulties competing.
Human capital theory – wage theories - compensation management - Manu Melwin...manumelwin
Human capital theory holds that wages are determined by the information and skills that employees possess. It builds on the idea that families contribute to acquiring skills and that growth in aggregate workforce knowledge and education can account for economic growth exceeding growth in standard inputs like capital and labor. Human capital theory suggests that wages depend on the productive knowledge and skills that workers obtain, which are considered a form of capital.
Wage Determination and the Allocation of Laborecogeeeeeks
This document discusses theories of wage determination in labor markets including perfectly competitive labor markets, monopsony, and delayed supply responses. In a perfectly competitive labor market, the equilibrium wage and employment are determined by the intersection of supply and demand. A monopsony is a labor market with a single employer, which pays workers less than a competitive wage and hires fewer workers, resulting in inefficiency. Delayed supply responses in some professions can lead to cyclical "cobweb" adjustments as supply lags behind changing demand.
This document discusses motivation and compensation. It defines motivation as the driving force that causes individuals to work towards goals in order to fulfill needs or expectations. Motivation is unique to each individual and context-dependent. The document then discusses several theories of motivation including Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory. It defines compensation as the remuneration employees receive in return for their contributions, which is important for standard of living, status, motivation, loyalty and productivity. The aims of compensation are to attract, motivate and retain capable employees. Components of compensation include direct factors like wages and bonuses, and indirect factors like benefits. Determining salary is based on skills required, labor supply and demand, location, stability and compensation philosophy.
The document discusses various theories and approaches to motivation in the workplace. It covers traditional approaches like human relations and human resources theories, as well as more contemporary content theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs and ERG theory. Process theories of motivation like expectancy theory and equity theory are also examined. Reinforcement theory and its use of rewards to motivate behavior is described. The impact of job design, empowerment, and giving work meaning on employee motivation are also discussed.
Intrapreneurship involves entrepreneurial behavior within an existing organization. It allows organizations to benefit from innovation while drawing on existing resources. To foster intrapreneurship, organizations should establish an environment that encourages risk-taking, experimentation, and multidisciplinary teamwork. They should also implement reward systems for intrapreneurs and have top management support for entrepreneurial activities. Successfully establishing intrapreneurship involves securing commitments, identifying ideas, setting expectations, developing support structures, and implementing an evaluation system.
This document discusses compensation management and provides an overview of key concepts. It defines compensation management and its objectives. It outlines the different elements of a total compensation package, including direct compensation, indirect compensation, and non-monetary compensation. It also discusses classical theories on wages and the importance of an ideal compensation plan for attracting, retaining, and motivating employees.
Intrapreneurship involves taking on an entrepreneurial role within a large company by developing new ideas and innovations. An intrapreneur is defined as an individual within an organization who takes responsibility for turning ideas into profitable products through risk-taking and innovation. Companies benefit from intrapreneurship through competitive advantages from new innovations that intrapreneurs bring to market. Intrapreneurs benefit through flexibility, recognition, increased value to the organization, and increased compensation. For intrapreneurship to succeed, companies must encourage creativity, grant ownership to intrapreneurs, and treat intrapreneurial teams as profit centers.
The document discusses different models of wage determination, including:
1) Purely competitive labor market model where wages are determined by supply and demand.
2) Monopsony model where a single firm is the only buyer of labor and faces an upward sloping supply curve.
3) Three union models - demand enhancement model, exclusive/craft model, and inclusive/industrial model - and how unions can impact wages.
Wage differentials due to market imperfections - compensation management - M...manumelwin
In economics, there is a presumption that people will migrate to higher paying jobs from lower paying jobs of the same type and with the same requirements. However, this can only happen if people know about the jobs.
This document provides an overview of different motivation theories and how they can be applied in organizations. It discusses content motivation theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory and process motivation theories like expectancy theory. It also covers reinforcement theory and different types of reinforcement. The document seeks to explain these theories and how managers can use them to motivate employees and improve performance.
Uberization of workforce - Human Resource management - Manu Melwin Joy manumelwin
The document discusses the "uberization of the workforce", where traditional employment models are changing as more workers take on independent contractor roles similar to Uber drivers. This presents challenges for companies in managing a mobile, global workforce with different expectations. There are risks to both the talent, such as ensuring they have the right skills, and risks from the talent, like higher customer switching costs. The document provides tips for companies to effectively manage freelance talent such as developing their employer brand, building a talent community, and embracing a compliant regulatory approach.
The document discusses several motivational theories including Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Herzberg's two-factor theory, McClelland's acquired needs theory, equity theory, and expectancy theory. It analyzes the key elements and implications of each theory on motivating employees, such as understanding an individual's dominant needs, ensuring fair treatment and rewards, and establishing a clear link between performance and rewards. The theories provide insights for managers on evaluating what motivates different employees and how to apply motivational strategies appropriately.
This document discusses various theories of motivation and how they relate to job performance. It covers content theories like Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory and ERG theory, process theories like equity theory and expectancy theory, and reinforcement theory. The document also discusses how companies can apply these motivation concepts, such as through goal-setting, rewards, and praise.
This document discusses human resource development and management. It describes how companies previously invested in their employees' careers by providing training, opportunities for progression, and retirement benefits. It also discusses developing vocational profiles to guide career choices, sources for finding job opportunities, and principles of supported employment including integrated workplaces and paying market wages. The goal of supported employment is reducing reliance on welfare benefits.
Continuous candidates are employee who are always looking for their next job opportunity. A new study from Manpower Group Solutions revealed that 37 percent of workers around the globe, and 41 percent of U.S. workers.
HRM dimensions to employee relations - industrial relations - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
Traditional industrial relations focused on conflict between management and workers, while emerging employee relations emphasizes cooperation. The new economic environment requires companies to follow human resource development and welfare policies to have healthy employee relations. This presentation will outline the differences between traditional industrial relations centered on conflict versus the emerging model of employee relations that focuses on cooperation between employers and workers.
Creating Job Enrichment and Equity Theory .pptxHwonnieMelendez
The document discusses job enrichment and equity theory. It defines job enrichment as giving employees greater autonomy and variety to motivate them. Five ways to create job enrichment are outlined, such as increasing skills variety and task significance. Strategies for job enrichment include rotating jobs and combining tasks. Equity theory states that employees identify inequities between themselves and peers and adjust work to make the situation fair. Employees are motivated when they perceive fair treatment and outcomes compared to others. The components of equity theory are inputs, outcomes, and comparison levels in relationships.
This document summarizes several theories of motivation:
- Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs which contends that humans seek to meet basic needs and progress to higher needs.
- Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory which identifies hygiene factors that prevent dissatisfaction and motivators that provide true motivation.
- Alderfer's ERG Theory which presents a needs hierarchy of existence, relatedness, and growth needs.
- McClelland's Theory of Needs which identifies three motivators - achievement, affiliation, and power - that are learned and influence behavior.
- Expectancy Theory which proposes motivation is influenced by expectancy, instrumentality, and valence (perceptions of effort-performance and performance-reward relationships
This document discusses employee retention strategies and theories. It begins by defining employee retention and noting that the goal for employers is typically to decrease turnover in order to reduce costs. It then discusses several theories related to retention, including:

- Maslow's hierarchy of needs as it applies to identifying effective retention strategies by addressing employees' various needs.
- Herzberg's two-factor theory which separates motivators from hygiene factors that impact satisfaction.

than in direct exchange for work.
Major Influences on Compensation Plans
• Cost of living
• Labor market influences
• Union influences
• Government influences
Cost of Living
• Refers to the real dollar value of a worker’s
purchasing power for ordinary necessities such as
food and clothing
• The cost of living in different regions is also a factor in
compensationcompensation.
• Consumer price index
– computed by comparing the retail prices of goods and
services at a fixed time with the prices at subsequent or
prior times
– is generally the best overall indicator of the real value of
wages or salaries.
Labor Market Influences
• The number of available workers varies
– Unemployment
– Type of work
– Location/regional economic conditions
• Compensation rates vary according to worker
availability
• Internal conditions of a company influence
compensation rates
Union Influences

– union contracts generally have same pay for all employees
who perform the same job
– raises based on seniority
• Non‐union companies typically reward individualNon union companies typically reward individual
employees
• Whether unionized or not, hotels in markets in which
unions are present generally have higher
compensation costs.
2
Government Influences
• Laws that mandate companies compensation for
their employees
– minimum wage
– wage rates
– overtime pay
– child‐labor restrictions
• Exempt
– An employee who is not subject to the minimum wage or
overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards.
• Non‐exempt
– An employee who is subject to the minimum wage or
overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards.
External and Internal Equity
• External equity
– pay variations among similar properties in a particular
market
• Salary Survey
– External analysis depends on direct collection of
information from competing organizations in the market
• Internal equity
– pay variations within a particular company
• Job Evaluation
– Internal analysis based on establishing meaningful
compensable factors

3. Market theories
• The most basic of these
is the number of workers
available (supply) and
the number of workers
needed (demand). In
addition, wage levels are
shaped by the skill sets
workers bring and
employers need, as well
as the location of the
jobs being offered.
4. Market theories
• The interplay between all of
these factors will eventually
cause wages to settle—that
is, the number of workers,
the number of jobs, the skills
involved, and the location of
the jobs will eventually lead
workers and employers to
reach a series of wage
agreements.
5. Market theories
• If employers (demand) cannot
find enough workers to meet
their needs, they will keep
raising their wage offers until
more workers are attracted. If
workers are in abundance
(supply), wages will fall until
the surplus labor decides to go
elsewhere in search of jobs.
When supply and demand
meet, the equilibrium wage
rate is established.
