The Impact Of Expected Matching Of Salary Increase On Employees' Deviation Behavior

Employee deviation behavior is extremely harmful to both organizations and employees,so research on how to weaken or eliminate employee deviation behavior is becoming more and more important.Studies have shown that effective compensation policies can suppress employee deviations,but most of the existing studies have discussed the impact of general compensation factors,and few studies have focused on more specific expectations of salary increases for employee deviations.Based on the theory of organizational fairness,this article explores the impact of salary increase expectations on employee deviation behavior,and further explores the mediation and adjustment mechanism.In this paper,the hypothesis is tested by three experiments.Experiment 1 using college students as samples to test the impact of salary increase expectation matching on employee deviation behavior.Experiment 2 conducted laboratory experiments using MBA students as samples to test the intermediary mechanism.Experiment 3 mainly verify the adjustment of fair sensitivity in this paper by changing the experiment start mode and experimental scene.The study found that the salary increase higher than or equal to the psychological expectation of the employee's salary increase will further encourage employees to reduce deviation behavior,and this phenomenon is more obvious when the salary increase level is higher than the psychological expectation(Experiment 1).Distribution equity plays an intermediary role(Experiment 2).Fairness sensitivity moderates the relationship between salary expectation matching and fair perception and the mediating effect of distribution equity(Experiment 3).
