Abstract

We measure the effect of profit-sharing incentive schemes on productivity in the banking sector. We use data collected from the payroll records of different (and autonomous) branches of a Québec financial cooperative. Beginning in 1994, some of these branches introduced profit-sharing compensation systems. We estimate a production function for this institution, allowing for the presence of profit-sharing. Our results suggest that branches with profit-sharing had 10% higher productivity than those without. Not all of this increase can be attributed to profit-sharing, however, since we lack information on the presence of other human-resource practices that were introduced into these firms. L'objectif principal de cet article est de mesurer l'impact des systèmes de rémunération incitative sur la productivité d'une entreprise de services, en tenant compte de la possibilité de biais de sélection qui survient lorsque la décision d'implanter de telles pratiques n'est pas aléatoire. Les données que nous avons utilisées proviennent d'une coopérative financière québécoise. Nous les avons utilisées pour estimer une fonction de production basée sur une mesure originale et univariée de la production. Nous trouvons un impact significatif de près de 10 %. Cette mesure est légèrement supérieure à ce qui est observé dans la litérature en général. Elle ne peut cependant être entièrement attribuée aux intéressements en raison de l'absence d'information sur la présence d'autres pratiques de gestion des ressources humaines (PGRH) pouvant influencer la productivité.
