  17. Money • People around the world have different economic, legal, political, and social infrastructures, history, cultures, beliefs, values, attitudes, and behavior; yet they all speak one language that everyone understands: Money.

  18. Professional Wrestlers as Ushers: Increased Collection Plate Donations by 72%

  19. Money • The instrument of commerce and the measure of value(Smith, 1776/1937). • Attract, retain, and motivate employees and achieve organizational goals(Chiu, Luk, & Tang, 2002; Milkovich & Newman, 2005; Tang, Kim, & Tang, 2000). • Objective

  20. The Meaning of Money is “in the eye of the beholder”(McClelland, 1967, p. 10) and can be used as the “frame of reference”(Tang, 1992)in which people examine their everyday lives(Tang & Chiu, 2003; Tang, Luna-Arocas, & Sutarso, 2005). Subjective

  21. The Importance of Money *10 Job Preferences, Pay was ranked: (Jurgensen, 1978) No. 5 by Men No. 7 by Women *11 work goals, Pay was ranked: (Harpaz, 1990). No. 1 in Germany No. 2 in Belgium, UK, and the US

  22. The ABCs of Money Attitudes Affective: Do you “love or hate” money? Behavioral: What do you “do” with your money? Cognitive: What does money “mean” to you?

  23. The Love of Money Scale Factor 1: Rich (Affective) 1. I want to be rich. 2. It would be nice to be rich. 3. Having a lot of money (being rich) is good. Factor 2: Motivator (Behavior) 4. I am motivated to work hard for money. 5. Money reinforces me to work harder. 6. I am highly motivated by money. Factor 3: Importance (Cognitive) 7. Money is good. 8. Money is important. 9. Money is valuable. Factor 4: Power (Cognitive) 10. Money is power. 11. Money gives one considerable power. 12. Money can buy the best products and services

  24. Affective: Rich • Love or Hate • Most people love Money. • I want to be Rich. • Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income (Ecclesiastes 5: 10).

  25. The Love of Money • Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. (1 Timothy 6: 9-10)

  26. Behavioral: Motivator • Strategy  Performance Improvement • Pay: 30% • Goal Setting: 16% • Job Design: 9% • Participation: 0% (Locke, E. A., Feren, D. B., McCaleb, V. M., Shaw, K. N., & Denny, A. T. 1980).

  27. Behavioral: Money is a Motivator • Herzberg: Money  Movement (no motivation) • A clear link: Performance  Rewards (Nohria, Groysberg, & Lee, HBR, 2008) • When people were paid for finding insect parts in a food processing plant, innovative employees brought insect parts from home to add to the food just before they removed them and collected the bonus (Milkovich & Newman, 2008)

  28. Cognitive: Importance *10 Job Preferences, Pay was ranked: No. 5 by Men No. 7 by Women (Jurgensen, 1978) *11 work goals, Pay was ranked: No. 1 in Germany No. 2 in Belgium, the UK, and the US (Harpaz, 1990)

  29. Cognitive: Importance • How we compare • Outperform Others • “For to him who has shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him who does not have, even that which he has shall be taken away” (Matthew, 13: 12).

  30. Cognitive: Power • Power tends to corrupt; and absolute power corrupts absolutely (Lord Acton, Letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton, 1887). • Money talks.

  31. Pay Satisfaction Job satisfaction: A pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job or job experiences (Locke, 1976: 300). Pay Satisfaction: Pay Level  Pay Satisfaction relationship is the most robust finding (Heneman & Judge, 2000: 71).

  32. Pay Satisfaction Questionnaire 1. Pay Level 2. Pay Raise 3. Benefit 4. Pay Administration (Heneman & Schwab, 1985) Time 1-Time 2 (Judge & Welbourne, 1994) Majority of studies included only Pay Level Satisfaction of PSQ (Williams, McDaniel, & Nguyen, 2006)

  33. Pay Level Satisfaction • My take home pay • My current salary • My overall level of pay • Size of my current salary

  34. The Love of Money-Pay Satisfaction Adam (1963): Equity model Lawler (1971): Discrepancy model Easterlin (2001): Relative theory Veenhoven (1984): Absolute theory Brickman & Campbell (1971): Adaptation theory Michalos (1985): Aspiration theory

  35. The Love of Money-Pay Satisfaction Poverty consists, not in the decrease of one’s possessions, but in the increase of one’s greed. Plato (427-347 BC) Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. (Ecclesiastes 5:10) High Income  High Pay Level Satisfaction High Love of Money  Low Pay Level Satisfaction

  36. Pay Satisfaction, So-What? Larger Context: Corporate Ethical Values (social norms) Unethical Behavior Intentions (consequence of pay dissatisfaction) Theory of Planned Behavior

  37. Unethical Behavior Intentions • The incumbent’s self-report and the coworker’s peer-report converged significantly on counterproductive work behavior toward other persons and work stressors (Fox, Spector, Goh, & Bruursema, 2007). • Self-reported behavioral intentions are arguably adequate surrogate measures of actual unethical behavior (Jones & Kavanagh, 1996).

  38. Unethical Behavior Intentions • Schoorman, F. D., & Mayer, R. C. 2008. The value of common perspectives in self-reported appraisals: You get what you ask for. Organizational Research Methods, 11, 148-159.

  39. Unethical Behavior Intentions • Workplace deviance (Greenberg, 2002; Robinson & Bennett, 2000), • Counterproductive behavior (Cohen-Charash & Spector, 2001), • Corruption (Anand, Ashforth, & Joshi, 2004), • Whistle-blowing (Dozier & Miceli, 1985), • Misbehavior (Ivancevich, Konopaske, & Matteson, 2005; Vardi & Weitz, 2004).

  40. Unethical Behavior IntentionsPropensity to Engage in Unethical Behavior (PUB) • We developed a short self-reported measure (PUB) and ask managers: • If you were in that position, what is the probability that you may engage in that activity? • It is a measure of “self-prediction” of their unethical behavior which is highly related to actual behavior

  41. Propensity to Engage in Unethical Behavior: Unethical Behavior Intentions • Factor Resource Abuse • 1. Use office supplies (paper, pen), Xerox machine, and stamps for personal purpose • 2. Make personal long-distance (mobile phone) calls at work • 3. Waste company time surfing on the Internet, playing computer games, and socializing • Factor Not Whistle Blowing • 4. Take no action against shoplifting by customers • 5. Take no action against managers who steal cash/merchandise • Factor Theft • 6. Abuse company expense accounts and falsify accounting records • 7. Take merchandise and/or cash home • 8. Borrow $20 from a register overnight without asking • Factor Corruption • 9. Accept money, gifts, and kickbacks from others • 10. Reveal company secrets when a person offers several million dollars • 11. Sabotage the company to get even due to unfair treatment • 12. Lay off 500 managers to save the company money and increase my personal bonus

  42. Corporate Ethical Values (CEV) • Strong cultures enhance firm performance (O’Reilly & Chatman, 1996) and deter unethical behavior (Baker, Hunt, & Andrews, 2006): Most people do look to the social context to determine what is ethically right and wrong (Bandura, 1977; Thomas, Schermerhorn, & Dienhart, 2004), obey authority figures (Litzky, Eddleston, & Kidder, 2006; Milgram, 1974), do what is rewarded (Skinner, 1972; Treviño & Brown, 2004), and follow the code of ethics (Bethoux, Didry, & Mias, 2007).

  43. Cross-Cultural Study 64%: only 2 countries 23%: > 2 countries (Sin, Cheung, & Lee, 1999). 72.43%: did not report Measurement Invariance (He, Merz, & Alden, 2008) Configural Invariance: Factor structure Metric Invariance: Factor Loading

  44. The Income Pyramid Prahalad & Hammond, 2002, HBR $ N --------------------------------------------------------- 1. > $20,000 100 Million 2. $2,000 – $20,000 2,000 Million 3. < $2,000 4,000 Million

  45. Level of Economic Development 1. GDP > 20,000 2. GDP 5,000 – 20,000 3. GDP < 5,000 We treat GDP as a “Moderator”
