Abstract

Abstract and Key Results

  • ▪ The present study empirically investigates employee reward preferences in the cross-national context using a sample drawn from 60 companies in two culturally distinct countries, Finland and China (Hong Kong).

  • ▪ The results underscore the benefits of adopting a total reward management approach which includes a mix of financial and non-financial rewards.

  • ▪ We found that a fuller appreciation of reward preferences entails consideration of employee characteristics and other contextual factors beyond culture.
