Performance-based compensation, organizational citizenship behavior, Impact research.Abstract
This study focuses on the influence of performance-based compensation on organizational citizenship behavior. By reviewing relevant literature, the concepts of performance-based compensation and organizational citizenship behavior are clarified, and the roles of the organic integration theory, social exchange theory, and equity theory in explaining the relationship between the two are expounded. Empirical research has found that performance-based compensation has positive or negative impacts on organizational citizenship behavior in different situations, affected by mediating variables such as perception of fairness and job satisfaction, as well as moderating variables such as leadership style and team cohesion. The existing research has deficiencies in aspects such as theoretical integration, research methods, variable exploration and cross-cultural research. Future research can be carried out in the directions of constructing a unified theoretical framework, optimizing research methods, expanding variable research and strengthening cross-cultural research, etc., to provide a more scientific basis for enterprise salary management.
