    The diffusion of pay for performance across occupations
    (2012) Bayo Moriones, José Alberto; Galdón Sánchez, José Enrique; Martínez de Morentin, Sara; Economía; Ekonomia; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa: 1435/2004
    In this paper the differences in the incidence of pay for performance plans between occupations in a sample of Spanish manufacturing establishments are analysed. Our results show that there are significant differences between occupations in the incidence of individual, group and firm or plant pay for performance plans. The roles of establishment size, multinational ownership and the human resources management department in the incidence of pay for performance plans and their variability of use across occupations within the same firm are also studied. These factors are found to correlate to a greater use of pay for performance and, in most cases, this effect is homogenous across occupations.

    Participation, cooperatives and performance: an analysis of Spanish manufacturing firms
    (2002) Bayo Moriones, José Alberto; Galilea Salvatierra, Pedro Javier; Merino Díaz de Cerio, Javier; Economía; Ekonomia
    This paper attempts to analyze the effects that shopfloor participation has on firm performance and examine if cooperatives show better results than capitalist firms. Moreover, it tries to study if the impact of participation on performance is different in cooperatives and capitalist firms. To fulfill these objectives information about 965 Spanish manufacturing plants with at least fifty employees is used. The results indicate that there are not significant differences in the performance of cooperatives and the rest of companies. Our findings also show that the introduction of participatory practices generates positive outcomes both for capitalist firms and cooperatives, without differences in the magnitude of the impact.

    Performance appraisal: dimensions and determinants
    (2012) Bayo Moriones, José Alberto; Galdón Sánchez, José Enrique; Martínez de Morentin, Sara; Economía; Ekonomia; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa: 1435/2004
    The determinants of the dimensions that shape a formal system of performance appraisal are studied in relation to a sample of Spanish manufacturing establishments. In particular, the factors that influence the measures used to evaluate performance, the person who carries out such appraisal and its frequency are analysed. Our results show that the characteristics of the establishment exert a significant influence on the configuration of performance appraisal. Specifically, we find that the use of practices complementary to performance evaluation and the structural factors of the establishment are found to correlate closely with the dimensions of formal performance appraisal.

    The process of wage adjustment: an analysis using establishment-level data
    (2013) Bayo Moriones, José Alberto; Galdón Sánchez, José Enrique; Martínez de Morentin, Sara; Economía; Ekonomia
    In this article, we use data from Spanish manufacturing plants to analyze the determinants of the importance attributed to several criteria when wages are adjusted. More specifically, the criteria we take into account in the study are the cost of living, the wages of the firm in relation to its competitors, the fulfillment of collective agreements at sector level, the need to recruit and retain employees, the performance of the organization, and the industrial relations climate. Our results show that the structural characteristics of the establishment, as well as the wage setting arrangements and trade unions, play a role in explaining the importance of the factors mentioned in shaping wage adjustments. The human resource management policies adopted by the employer seem to be less relevant.
