- Summary:
-
An analysis of the total compensation of presidents and the five highest-paid employees at 190 private colleges and universities in 1993 looked at the additional variables of institutional expenditure level, institution type, reputation, and student Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) scores. Results indicated that institutional expenditures, reputation, and institution type are somewhat related, and that presidents' compensation was also related to these three factors. However, compensation of the other five highest-paid employees was not found to be related to reputation, only to other institutional variables. The study concluded that: (1) presidents' pay is related to performance; (2) agency theory can be applied in this situation, in which the incentive system encourages mutual monitoring through the organization concerning pay and performance; and (3) since presidents' pay is related to objective performance data, procedural justice exists in the compensation system. Data analysis summaries are appended (Contains 36 references.) (MSE)
