The Meaning of Money

Father Joseph P. Breen of St. Edward in Nashville, TN Celebrated 40 Years Priesthood on 2/28/2002. (Story by Fr. Wiatt A. Funk.) Turbulence,

In God we..

Priests: Pray, Ask


$20 vs. $1 in a Money BagShall we create a pay-for-

performance program for priests?The Government has no money until

you pay... The Terrorists


Money is the instrument of commerce and the measure of value (Smith, 1776/1937).

The meaning of money is “in the eye of the beholder” (McClelland, 1967, p. 10).

Money is the Measure of Value

Who has more value?1. An Economist Eugen Bohm Bawerk

2. A Psychologist Sigmund Freud

3. An Artist Moritz M. Daffinger

In Austria

Austrian Schillings (ATS)US$1 = ATS 15.53 (1/1/2002)

The Meaning of Money: Theory

Money is a motivator (Gupta & Shaw, 1998; Lawler,

1981; Locke, Feren, McCaleb, Shaw, & Danny, 1980: 381). Money is a hygiene factor (Herzberg, Mausner &

Snyderman, 1959; Kohn, 1998; Pfeffer, 1998).

People’s attitudes toward money can be perceived as their “frame of reference” in which they examine their everyday lives (Tang, 1992).

Managers

*Attract, Retain, and Motivate employees

*Achieve Company Goals (Chiu, Luk, & Tang, 1998; Milkovich & Newman, 2002; Tang, Kim, & Tang, 2000; Tang, Luk, & Chiu, 2000).

Research: Performance Improvement

4 Methods:

1. Participation

2. Job Design

3. Goal Setting

4. Contingent Payment

The Meaning of Money-Motivator

Performance ImprovementParticipation: 0%Job Design: 9%Goal Setting: 16%Contingent Payment: 30%.Movements vs. Intrinsic Motivation.What gets measured gets done (Inc., 1998, June)

The Meaning of Money-Hygiene

Money is a Hygiene factor (Herzberg, Mausner

& Snyderman, 1959). 0, 0 point escalatesSalary has more potency as a job

dissatisfier than as a job satisfier (82).In the lows salary is found almost three

times as often in the long-range as in the short-range sequences (82).

The Meaning of Money-Hygiene

Kohn (1993, September/October). Harvard Business Review.

Kohn (1998, March/April). Compensation and Benefits Review.

Pearce (1987). New perspectives on compensation.

Pfeffer (1998, May/June). Six dangerous myths about pay. Harvard Business Review.


Money always represents or signifies something other than itself (Crump, 1981).

One is not interested in money, but in what money will buy (Crump, 1981).

Time is Money

Time is Money

My account is worth every penny he charges because of the time he saves me.

This year, for example, he probably saved me five to ten years in prison.

The ABCs of Money Attitudes

Affective: Do you “love or hate” money?

Behavioral: What do you “do” with your money?

Cognitive: What does money “mean” to you?

The well-developed measures are those that have been developed more carefully and used more systematically. There are three of these: (1) the money ethics scale (Tang, 1992, 1993, 1995), (2) the money belief and behavior scale (Furnham, 1984; Furnham, Kirkcaldy, & Lynn, 1994), and (3) the money importance scale (Mitchell, Dakin, Mickel, & Gray, 1998) (AMR: 571).

Why Do We Study Money Attitude?

The Importance of Money (Mitchell & Mickel, 1999)

The Meaning of Money (Individual Difference)

Money Materialism

Other Attitudes--Pay Satisfaction

Why Do We Study Money Attitude?

Pay Dissatisfaction has numerous undesirable consequences (Heneman & Judge, 2000)

Commitment, Turnover, Counter-Productive Behavior, and Unethical Behavior (Cohen-Charash & Spector, 2001; Hom & Griffeth, 1995; Tang, Kim, & Tang, 2000)

The Money Ethic Scale

1. Measures the Meaning of Money2. Follows the ABC Model3. Has Multi-Dimensional Constructs (5

versions)4. Is Well Developed and

Systematically Used (17 papers)5. Reflects Individual Differences

The Money Ethic Scale

Has been used in many samples,

in many countries, and

in many languages (published articles): Chinese, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, etc.

Research Question:

Does money (income) have a direct and/or indirect impact on unethical behavior?

Does money attitude (the love of money, the MES) have a direct and/or indirect impact on unethical behavior?

MES in This Study

1. Money is a Motivator2. Money is a sign of my Success3. Money is Important4. I want to be Rich

58 items, EFA—US Sample, 14 factors,

Select 4 factors (17 items), EFA, CFA--Whole Sample, 12 Countries

The Love of Money

1. Motivator

2. Success

3. Important

4. Rich

Motivator

No other incentive or motivational technique comes even close to money (Locke, Feren, McCaleb, Shaw, & Danny, 1980: 381).

Money is a motivator (Gupta & Shaw, 1998; Lawler, 1981).

Ex. I am motivated to work hard for money. Money is a motivator.

Success

In America, money is how we keep score (Rubenstein, 1981).

Some people are obsessed with “money as a sign of success” (Furnham & Argyle, 1998: 148)

Ex. Money represents my achievement. Money is a symbol of my success.

Importance

The one consistent thread in this body of work is “the emphasis on its importance” (Mitchell & Mickel, 1999: 569)

Ex. Money is important. Money is an important factor in the lives of all of us.

Rich

Would you like to be Rich or Poor?Most people: RichBeing Rich will make you feel Good,

Happy, Powerful, Beautiful, Healthy, etc.

Many CEOs are tested G-r-e-e-d positive (Crystal, 1990, Fortune).

Ex. Having a lot of money (being rich) is good. I want to be rich.

Income Money Ethic

Among nations: As nations get richer, increases in wealth are associated with diminishing increases in well-being (Ahuvia & Friedman, 1998; Schyns, 1998)

Objective Wealth vs. Subjective Appraisals (Ahuvia & Friedman, 1998)

Objective Money (Income)

Within nations: Increased income is associated with well-being for the poor; once the poverty threshold is crossed, increased income matters little for happiness (Czikszentmihali, 1999;Diener,

2000; Myers 2000; Oishi, Diener, Lucas, & Such, 1999; Oropesa, 1995, Richins & Rudmin, 1994; Schyns, 2000; Tatzel, 2002)

Objective Money (Income)

If we are so rich, why aren’t we happy?

Csikszentmihalyi, M. (1999). American Psychologist, 54, 821-827.

Subjective Money (Compare)

Subjective well-being increases as income increases from below average to above average within one’s home community (Hagerty, 2000)

East Asia

The major global market for luxury goods (Wong & Ahuvia, 1998)

Thailand: very Materialistic, regarding possessions as a measure of Success, valuing possessions for their public visibility (face) over private, personal meaning (Webster & Batty, 1997; Wong & Ahuvia, 1998).

Expectation vs. Reality

“The Love of Money” as the Frame of Reference, i.e., expectation, standards

High MES High Pay Dissatisfaction

Pay Satisfaction Commitment

Job Satisfaction Commitment (Williams & Hazer, 1986, SEM)

There is reciprocal and synchronous causality between commitment and satisfaction, with satisfaction influencing commitment more than vice versa (Home & Griffeth, 1995: 98).

Pay Satisfaction Commitment

Perceived unfair procedural and distributive justice negative attitudes toward the organization (e.g., lower trust and commitment) (Cohen-Charash & Spector, 2001: 288)

Commitment Unethical Behavior

From a procedural justice perspective, perceived injustice will lead to negative perceptions of the organization and, hence to counterproductive behaviors that will hurt the organization (Cohen-

Charash & Spector, 2001: 287).

Business Ethics

Taxonomy and Concepts (Forsyth, 1980; Michalos, 1995)

Culture (Hofstede, 2001; Trompenaars, 1994)

Social Institutions (Parsons, 1990)

Personal Values (England, 1975)

Cross-cultural (Wines & Napier, 1992)

Ethical Culture Commitment

Top-level Manager can reduce unethical behavior (Finn, Chonko, & Hunt, 1988)

Attraction-Selection-Attrition (Chatman, 1989; Douglas & Schwartz, 1999; Ponemon & Glazer, 1990; Tang & Frost, 1999)

Differences in ethical culture across firms and across offices within the same firm (Jeffrey & Weatherholt, 1996)

Ethical Culture Commitment

Ethical Culture Ethical Behavior (Hunt & Vitell, 1986; Trevino, 1986) *“Directly”

Ethical Culture Individual Values (i.e., idealism) Ethical Judgments (Douglas, Davison, & Schwartz, 2001) *“Indirectly”

Ethical Culture Commitment Unethical Behavior *Indirectly

Sex MES

Men prefer equity, women prefer equality (Tang, 1996; Tang, Furnham, & Davis, 2000)

Men consider money more important than women (Lawler, 1971)

Women are more subjectively satisfied with their pay than men, the contented female worker (Crosby, 1982; Major & Konar, 1984; Sauser & York, 1978; Smith, Kendall, & Hulin, 1969)

Job Changes Unethical Behavior

Reason for Voluntary Turnover: higher wages/career opportunities (Campion, 1991)

Leavers have lower pay satisfaction and receive 20% pay increase on their new jobs

The number of job changes is a predictor of management professors’ pay (Gomez-Mejia & Balkin, 1992) Self-Interest vs. Organization

Additional Thoughts

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Judas, who betrayed Jesus for a sum of money (30 pieces of silver), was the treasurer of the disciples. John, 12: 6; 13: 29

For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descent after him. Psa, 49: 17

Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. John, 11
