Work capacity
Work quality
Workplace result
Compared with 1998, the greatest change has taken place in Lithuania, where
the importance of all three factors has grown very clearly. In Latvia and Estonia,
the changes have been smaller. In 2002, in all three countries, the amount
of work had more importance than its quality. The quality of work, in turn,
was still more clearly of greater significance than the workplace result.
In Estonia, the significance of work quality has grown and the link between
work amount and salary has also become a little stronger. Result bonuses, on
the other hand, have clearly been used less than earlier. The changes in Latvia
compared to 1998 are rather small. Work quantity has gained slightly in importance.
However, the work quality and result bear somewhat less connection
with salary than previously. In Lithuania, the significance of all three factors
has increased a great deal. Whereas before, it was clear that factors like these
had a weaker connection with salary payment in Lithuania than in other Baltic
countries, the situation has now been reversed.
