The ability to track executive pay began at the beginning of the 1930’s. This is when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began to require disclosure of executive pay (Fryman 2010). Before this time there is really no clear record of remuneration. In 1953, the Revenue Act determined that “restricted” stock options could be taxed at the much lower rate on capital gains (Fryman 2009). Throughout the 1950s, only about 16 percent of the executives were awarded an option in any given year.

It is universally acknowledged that remuneration is the key to drive the employees to be more productivity, enhance job satisfaction as well as the direction that determines the organizational behaviour of one. In the early 1900s, Taylor (1903) suggested that financial incentives were significant in improving efficiency of workers.

The correct remuneration and performance management system is an ongoing discussion as it plays an integral part in organisations. Pfeffer (2005) argues that wage compression and symbolic egalitarianism is the best practice to gain competitive advantage, however other theorists advocate a ‘best fit’ model depending on the organisational strategic plan. This essay explores these arguments by demonstrating how culture, the job, and organisational context are inter-related and affect a firm’s reward

These additional payments usually result from
