近年來,討論高階主管與基層員工薪酬的議題受到學術界、社會與媒體很大的關注。『競賽理論』認為,大的高階主管薪酬與基層員工薪資差異倍數,可以提供基層員工誘因努力工作,可以增加公司的生產效率以及提高公司價值。另外一方面,『公平理論』認為,過大的高階主管與基層員工薪資差異倍數,會造成基層員工被不公平對待的感覺,影響了工作士氣,對於提高公司的生產效率以及提高公司價值的目標是不利的。本論文以台灣的上市櫃公司在2012年至2020年期間為研究樣本,探討高階主管與基層員工薪資差異倍數對於公司績效(包括生產效率與公司價值)的影響,研究樣本共有13,368筆觀察直。研究資料顯示,薪酬倍數平均數是11.09倍,薪酬倍數平均數近來有降低的趨勢,可能受到整體社會反抗大企業的貪婪不公和社會不平等的氛圍的影響。電子業的薪酬倍數平均數遠高於非電子業,且電子業的薪酬倍數有右偏的現象,平均數受到極端值的影響。
此外,本論文發現,低的機構投資人持股、高的研究支出比率、高的股票波動性,會導致於高的薪資差異倍數,意味著具有這些特性的股票由於較難監督,因此會透過提高高階主管與基層員工薪資差異倍數來進行激勵,作為監督的替代機制,此發現符合了『競賽理論』。最後,本論文的實證結果顯示,過大的高階主管與基層員工薪資差異倍數,不利於生產效率與公司價值,此點發現支持了『公平理論』。
The topic related to the gap between top executive compensation and employee salary has attracted the interests from academics, society, and media. On one hand, the tournament theory posits that large pay gap can induce employees work hard, leading to better production efficiency and higher firm valuation. On the other hand, the equity theory argues that larger pay gap may impose unfair treatment for employees, causing worse production efficiency and lower firm valuation. This dissertation uses public firms in Taiwan stock market from 2012 to 2020 as a sample (13,368 observations) to investigate the influences of pay gap on firm performance, including production efficiency and firm valuation. The empirical evidences show that the average pay gap between top executive compensation and employee salary is 11.09 times in sample period. Interestingly, the average pay gap gradually decreases over time, showing that the public firms in Taiwan has a positive response to the social movement calling for justice and fairness. Moreover, the electronic firms have significant higher pay gap than general industrial firms. The distribution of pay gap in electronic firms is right skewed, indicating that such pay gap has some extreme positive outliers.
Furthermore, the empirical results show that firms with low institutional ownership, higher R&D expenditures, and higher stock return volatility, tend to have higher pay gap. Since low institutional ownership, high R&D expenditures, and high return volatility are features that characterize the difficulties of monitoring, the finding suggests that the high pay gap is a substitute of monitoring, which is consistent with the prediction of tournament theory. Finally, the empirical results demonstrate that larger pay gap will result in poorer production efficiency and lower market valuation, which is consistent the prediction of equity theory.
