2 ) Employees may see compensation as: - a return in an exchange, - an entitlement for being an employee of the company, - an incentive to take/stay in a job and invest in performing well, or - as a reward for having done so.

1 ) Pay is usually a major source of financial security.

Managers

1 ) Compensation influences manager’s success in two ways. - First, it is a major expense that must be managed. - Second, it is a major determinant of employee attitudes and behaviors.

Stockholders

2 ) Stockholders have a particular interest in executive pay. L- inking executive pay to company performance increases stockholders' returns.

1 ) Some stockholders say using stock to pay employees creates a sense of ownership. - Others argue it dilutes stockholder wealth

Society

2 ) Job losses (or gains) in a country is partly a function of labor costs (and productivity).
