Pay for performance and work attitudes: The mediating role of employee-organization service value congruence

This study examined the mediating effects of employee-organization service value congruence on pay for performance and work attitudes. Using a sample drawn from the hotel industry, we found that when employees perceived a high PFP link they tended to exhibit more positive work attitudes. We also found that the relationship between PFP link and work attitudes was mediated by P-O fit. These findings offer new insights into the important role that reward practices such as PFP play in the alignment of employer-organization service quality values. In doing so, they also pave the way for future contributions in this novel and important area of service value congruence.
