Title

Reports from the global field: The IMPACT project  

Abstract

This presentation will outline the IMPACT (Investigating Merit Pay across Countries and Territories) project, a global study of the psychological reactions to pay increases. The study involves a comparative test of four alternative theories, derived from four distinct areas of social sciences, of how individuals reaction to pay changes based on their prior performance. The study involves primary data collections before and after pay increases, as well as organizational pay raise records. At present, more than 50 countries are involved in the project with data collections ongoing or complete in more than 25 countries.
