The Effects of Various Payment Systems on Job Accountability

This research is aimed at assessment of the effects of various payment systems on accountability and responsiveness of the employees. Having studied the theoretical literature and having introduced the various payment systems, the researchers proposed the final conceptual model. This model included three payment systems: hourly payment, payment on the basis of evaluating mental performance, and competitive payment. These systems were employed as predictive variables, while office hours and human resource constancy were proposed as intermittent variables, and job accountability was regarded as standard variable. A questionnaire based on Likert table, composed of 36 questions, was employed to assess the variables. The research population included 360 employees at Mellat Bank in the north west of Tehran. The data was analyzed by SPSS20 and SmartPLS2. The results indicated that payment systems negatively affected job accountability. Competitive payment system came out to be appropriate due to its positive relation with office hours and constancy. It can be employed effectively by public organizations and companies.
