1. Introduction
3. Literature Review
6. Conclusion
This paper has described various parameters
involved in designing an effective compensation
plan. The job responsibilities of a CEO is not only
restricted to enhancing companys performance, but
they are even responsible for executing required CSR
activities. These aspects will be considered in
compensation plan design for CEOs. The necessary
factors will be percentage of companys profits
offered to CEO, after retirement or when they leave
the job position. This profit percentage would be
higher for those CEOs who have performed well in
their job tenure. On the other hand, there will be a
performance evaluation scale for CEOs who are
actively indulged in the CSR wing of a company,
after they leave their job designation. It is clearly
evident that monetary compensation tends to initiate
greed within individuals [8]; however, sense of
ownership feeling will eliminate such negative
influential force.
