Compensation research has provided insights into how organizations can design compensation policies to manage invaluable human resources effectively and thus enhance productivity. However, observing the rapidly changing business environment and organizations confronting unprecedented challenges in attracting, hiring, and motivating their people, compensation scholars started questioning whether we are providing timely and meaningful scientific knowledge to organizations. To address this concern, the proposed PDW suggests three possible approaches to achieve a tighter research and practice relationship, which are each structured under three themes: (1) How can compensation research be integrated with other management topics to offer more comprehensive knowledge and speak to a broader audience? (2) How can we extend the existing theories, or should we come up with completely new theories that are more applicable to contemporary issues? (3) What kind of research methodological paradigm shifts are needed to provide meaningful implications? To better facilitate discussions under each theme, we propose our PDW to consist of (1) the roundtable sessions where the attendees interact directly with the panelists, followed by (2) the panel discussions of three themes.
