Abstract
This article proposes to summarize experience about compensation plans and high performance, as viewed from an Organizational Development (OD) perspective. Several orienting biases provide the context for this summary, which focuses on a panoply of managerial ways to reinforce the contributions of compensation plans to achieve high performance. Four themes get special atten tion as probable reinforcers: a regenerative style of interaction; supporting cultures at work; ap propriate structures; and an overview of reinforcing sub-systems.Keywords
