摘要

我们探讨了富有创造力的研发人员的离职意向,以及绩效管理实践在影响这些考虑因素方面所起的作用。由于公司研发工作的成功取决于员工的创新想法,因此留住特别有创造力的员工至关重要。但与此同时,我们也认为这一点尤为困难,因为创造性员工的外部选择较多,而且他们的个人特点使他们平均而言更容易离开公司。最重要的是,我们认为,两种被广泛研究的绩效管理设计选择(目标难度和职业生涯锦标赛)通常被用来激励员工努力工作,这可能会影响创意人才的流失。利用我们对一家大型制造企业研发人员的调查数据,以及对商科学生的补充实验,我们发现有证据表明,平均而言,有创造力的员工更有可能离开自己的公司。与创造性员工拥有更强的学习导向相一致的是,我们还预测并发现这种离职倾向会受到目标难度的影响(因为难度大的目标与创造性人才的学习导向相吻合),而职业竞争的激烈程度则会加剧这种倾向(因为职业竞争会降低团队凝聚力,并最终破坏学习机会)。

The role of target difficulty and career tournaments in retaining creative R&D employees

We explore the turnover intentions of creative R&D employees and the role of performance management practices in shaping these considerations. Since the success of a firm's R&D efforts hinges on the innovative ideas of its employees, it is crucial to retain particularly creative individuals. At the same time, however, we argue that this is especially difficult because both the higher outside options of creative employees and their specific individual characteristics make them, on average, more likely to leave their company. Most importantly, we suggest that two widely studied performance management design choices (target difficulty and career tournaments) typically used to motivate effort may influence the loss of creative talent. Using survey data from our unique access to R&D employees of a large manufacturing firm and a complementary experiment among business students, we find evidence that creative employees are, on average, more likely to leave their firm. Consistent with creative employees possessing a stronger learning orientation, we also predict and find that this tendency to leave is mitigated by target difficulty (as difficult targets speak to creative individuals' learning orientation) and exacerbated by the intensity of career tournaments (as they reduce team cohesion and, ultimately, undermine learning opportunities).
