4135.1 Pay, pay satisfaction, commitment and withdrawal cognitions in Mexico, Fernando
Arias-Galicia, National University of Mexico, Mexico
Pay is a controversial issue in organizations. Traditionally it has been used as a means of motivate
people to work harder and stay within the organization since turnover has associated costs. So the
question arises: is the amount of money earned related to organizational commitment and intention
to stay? 700 people were approached in a small city 80 kilometers from Mexico City working in a
variety of firms. A structural equation model was posited relating compensation, pay satisfaction,
commitment and intention to stay. Results showed that earnings per se had no influence on the
latter.
4135.2 The relationship between teachers’ organizational citizenship behaviors and job burnout,
Rachel Hannam, Nerina Jimmieson, School of Psychology, University of Queensland, Australia
A challenge for non-commercial and government organizations is how to best reward employees
for their extra efforts given limited organizational flexibility and material resources. Providing
employees with non-material rewards like praise and recognition costs little to administer, yet the
benefits are well documented. The present study showed that public schoolteachers who reported
receiving praise and recognition from a variety of sources for their efforts at work performed more
organisational citizenship behaviour, were less emotionally exhausted and felt a greater sense of
personal accomplishment than teachers not rewarded in this way. Results from longitudinal and
multi-level analyses will be discussed.

interaction between business ethics and performance of corporation in China was done with 150
corporations with different size, different system of ownership, and in different industry in China.
It is intended to highlight the economic benefits of business ethics and switch the stereotype that
only some negative affairs are considered when it comes to business ethics. It was found that
employee management is a key factor under the stage of economic transition. Accordingly, a
system of business ethics with Chinese characteristics was constructed.
