高管薪水越高，員工支持率越低

如果你是一名拿著很高薪水的CEO，那么你的員工對你的評價或許不會很高。

這是雇主點評網站Glassdoor最近的一項調查所得出的結論。該調查涵蓋了7萬余家上市公司的約120萬名員工，根據這些員工對他們的老板的支持率評分，研究人員發現，薪酬水平很高的CEO在員工中的支持率往往要顯著低于薪資水平較低的CEO。

該調查發現，企業頂級管理層的薪資水平近幾十年來一直在持續增長。截止至2014年，標普500企業的CEO的平均工資約為一名普通工人的204倍。

研究發現，CEO漲薪的主要原因是企業績效，但有些CEO的漲薪則是由于權力所衍生的效益——比如有的CEO能自己給自己漲工資。在所有樣本企業中，CEO的平均年收入是1230萬美元。

研究還表明，在上市公司里，CEO的薪資水平與員工對CEO的支持率之間存在著較強的關聯。大體來看，薪資水平較低的CEO所獲得的支持率最高，而薪資較高的CEO獲得的支持率則最低。

該研究還發現，如果員工對公司的總體滿意度較高，那么即使他們對CEO的支持率很低，這種不滿也會有所沖淡。另外，如果CEO本人是也是公司的創始人，則其支持率平均要比外部聘用或內部提拔的CEO高出3.2%。

研究還發現，性別因素一般不會對CEO的支持率造成統計學上的影響。不過由于女性只占了被調查的CEO總人數的5%，因此基于這樣一個小樣本，研究人員恐怕還無法得出強有力的結論。

該研究還表明，年齡、任職時間和教育背景一般也不會對CEO支持率造成統計學上的影響。

如果按行業劃分的話，CEO支持率水平最高的行業分別是房地產（76.1%）、建筑（72.8%）、信息技術（72.6%）、金融（72.41%）和保險（71.8%）業。CEO支持率水平最低的行業則分別是零售（61.4%）、加工（64.1%）、運輸（64.3%）、采礦（64.4%）和媒體（64.5%）業。（財富中文網）

If you’re a well-paid CEO, your employees may not think you’re doing a great job.

That’s according to a new Glassdoor survey, which collected 1.2 million approval ratings from about 70,000 different publicly traded companies. From the data, researchers found that highly paid CEOs have significantly lower approval ratings than CEOs who are paid less.

As of 2014, the study notes, the average CEO has earned 204 times the amount of a median worker’s pay at S&P 500 companies, as top executives’ average pay has continued to increase in recent decades.

Pay raises are mainly due to merit, the study found, but some are the result of managerial power, i.e., the ability of CEOs to give themselves a raise. Out of the companies sampled, CEOs made an average yearly salary of $12.3 million.

Albeit complex, the study affirms that there is a link between CEO pay and employee approval within public companies at a high level. Overall, lower-paid CEOs received the highest approval marks, while higher-paid CEOs received the lowest approval ratings.

The study also found that when overall employee satisfaction is higher with a company, the effect of lower CEO approval ratings is lessened. CEOs who were also company founders boasted 3.2% higher approval ratings compared with those who were externally hired or internally promoted.

The study found that gender didn’t have a statistical impact on CEO approval ratings. But since women only made up 5% of the executives surveyed, it was hard for researchers to draw strong conclusions from such a small amount.

Age, tenure on the job, and education had no statistical impact on CEO approval ratings, according to the study.

he most highly rated CEOs were found in real estate (76.1%), construction (72.8%), information technology (72.6%), finance (72.4%), and insurance (71.8%). The lowest average CEO ratings were in retail (61.4%), manufacturing (64.1%), transportation (64.3%), mining (64.4%), and media (64.5%).
