By Daniel Butcher<\/a><\/p>\n

Overall, researchers have found that pay transparency benefits organizations with fair compensation structures by incentivizing top performers to continue working hard and reducing turnover of talented contributors. But in certain situations, it can breed envy of high earners and undermine organizational culture.<\/p>\n

Academy of Management Scholar Peter Bamberger<\/a> of Tel Aviv University explained that envy can be either benign or malicious, with benign envy increasing a person\u2019s motivation to help others, while malicious envy tends to decrease motivation. Bamberger said that in cases he studied where pay transparency bred malicious envy among colleagues, the frequency of employees helping one another decreased.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if I\u2019m envious of you, and I can see that you\u2019re having difficulties at work, will I help without you coming to me and asking for assistance? Will I come to you and say, \u2018Hey, I can see you\u2019re having some problems, here\u2019s advice or some type of information that could help you solve some of the problems that you\u2019re experiencing?\u2019\u201d Bamberger said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m less likely to do that if I\u2019m feeling envy toward you, and I\u2019m more likely to feel envy toward you under conditions of pay transparency,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor people who are natural helpers, it won\u2019t make much of a difference, but for most people, particularly among those who are more competitive or have less prosocial motivation, it can make a big difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some business leaders and managers complain that transparency is problematic, because it makes people jealous, but Bamberger and his colleagues didn\u2019t buy that argument. Their hypothesis was that people are jealous whether pay is transparent or not, and they imagine what other people\u2019s pay is and base their jealousy on that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether or not employees see other people\u2019s pay, it\u2019s still a basis for jealousy, because they believe the worst,\u201d Bamberger said. \u201cThe difference when pay is transparent is that it\u2019s slammed in your face, and you can\u2019t deny it, and therefore, it\u2019s particularly in that case where the malicious envy can be sufficiently robust to be problematic, while one of these problems was reduced unsolicited helping among coworkers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
