| Abstract: | Research on compensation in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries is scarce, and a comprehensive analysis of factors influencing the adoption and transformation of compensation practices in CEE countries is lacking. This article provides a holistic analytical framework based on a literature review, secondary data on selected compensation practices in CEE countries, and theoretical insights from various perspectives. These include path dependency from the pre‐transformation era; current coercive, mimetic, and normative isomorphic pressures; and efficiency‐based influences on compensation practices. Furthermore, implications are outlined both for future research on compensation management and for human resource management practice in CEE countries. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. |
