Research on the Influence of Salary Management on Employees' Work Enthusiasm in Chengdu Private Colleges

Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between pay satisfaction, psychological contract, and work enthusiasm. This study demonstrates a significant relationship between employee pay satisfaction, psychological contract, and work enthusiasm. Equity-based compensation correlates significantly with the psychological contract component, indicating that employees care about reasonable compensation mechanisms, motivational HR strategies, appropriate reward systems, and available communication channels. When employees feel their salary is lower than the market average, they will have bad moods, make less effort for the organization, feel tired, or want to leave their jobs. The three research objectives are; to explore the salary management of private colleges in Chengdu, to test the influencing factors on employees, and work enthusiasm of private colleges, and to suggest countermeasures for improving the salary management of private college staff.
