High technology workers and total rewards

This literature review suggests that the Total Rewards approach has some promise in the management of high technology workers primarily because of its broad definition of rewards. It also suggests that the rewards preference profile of high technology workers is different from that of other occupational categories and rewards programs for high technology workers should therefore be different. Research directions to verify these findings are suggested. Researchers also need to address the current lack of a sound, broadly accepted theoretical basis for Total Rewards.
