Loyalty to Employers Gets You a Higher Pay Packet

A survey carried out by researchers at Michigan State University among more than 10,800 employees in former socialist countries that had introduced capitalist economies during the 1990s suggests that people who are loyal to their employers tend to be paid more.

Susan Linz, lead author and professor of economics, said that while previous research has found that worker loyalty bolsters companies' bottom lines by lowering labour turnover costs and enhanced customer service, this study shows that employees benefit as well - by making more money.

She said that it is a known fact that firms realize financial gain from loyal workers, but we wanted to know if they share those benefits with the workers.

Linz asserted that among the more than 650 workplaces included in their study the answer is yes, they are sharing the wealth.

The researchers surveyed employees from 2005 to 2011 in six culturally and economically diverse countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazahkstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Serbia.

Bosses Frustrated by Failure to Communicate With Young Employees
Recent reports indicate that employers are getting frustrated by their failure to communicate with young workers.

The employees came from a wide range of sectors including manufacturing, retail and financial services, health care, education, public sector, construction and transportation.

Loyalty was measured in three ways: by workplace seniority; whether the employee would turn down an offer of slightly more money to change jobs; and whether the employee was committed to and engaged with the company - i.e., did they buy into the company's mission even when it was outside their job responsibilities.

Employees Work Harder for Their Companies If They Have Job Autonomy and Trust in Their Leaders
A new study suggests that providing a high degree of job autonomy to frontline employees could make them work harder for their organization’s improvement.

Linz said she was surprised to find such a strong link between worker loyalty and higher earnings. In three countries, the contribution of loyalty to earnings was equivalent to the contribution to earnings of an additional year of experience.

The findings have been published in Evidence-based HRM.
