Gainsharing: A few questions, and fewer answers

Abstract

Gainsharing is an important organization development intervention, yet many of the basic questions have not been answered. This paper addresses these questions by developing a conceptual model and using the model to review the case study literature on gainsharing . The plans varied in terms of structural factors, implementation factors, and situational factors, and a majority were successful. Gainsharing impact was found in five key areas: organizational effectiveness, individual quality of work life, ideas and innovation, labor-management cooperation, and pay. Relevant research is briefly reviewed and several unanswered questions are identified for future research.
