Abstract This study develops an efficiency explanation for commonly observed performance-based compensation contracts that aggressively reward extreme performance while largely disregarding performance distinctions for moderate performance levels. In response to this reward-the-extremes contract, the paper predicts a relationship between performance and turnover that fluctuates by performance level. Evidence of the hypothesized contract and the resulting pattern of turnover are provided empirically with data collected from 984 engineering employees of two large high-technology companies in the San Francisco Bay Area. The data confirm that extremely high and moderately low performers are likely to remain in firms offering these contracts while moderately high and extremely low performers are likely to depart. Show Journal Information Founded in 1956 by James Thompson, the Administrative Science Quarterly is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal publishing theoretical and empirical work that advances the study of organizational behavior and theory. ASQ publishes articles that contribute to organization theory from a number of disciplines, including organizational behavior and theory, sociology, psychology and social psychology, strategic management, economics, public administration, and industrial relations. ASQ publishes both qualitative and quantitative work, as well as purely theoretical papers. Theoretical perspectives and topics in ASQ range from micro to macro, from lab experiments in psychology to work on nation-states. An occasional feature is the "ASQ Forum," an essay on a special topic with invited commentaries. Thoughtful reviews of books relevant to organization studies and management theory are a regular feature. Special issues have explored qualitative methods, organizational culture, the utilization of organizational research, the distribution of rewards in organizations, and critical perspectives on organizational control.

Hypothesizing that leadership, individual problem-solving style, and work group relations affect innovative behavior directly and indirectly through their influence on perceptions of the climate for innovation, we used structural equation analysis to test the parameters of the proposed model simultaneously and also explored the moderating effect of task characteristics. The model explained approximately 37 percent of the variance in innovative behavior. Task type moderated the relationship between leader role expectations and innovative behavior.

What is the main hypothesis of Maslows hierarchy of need theory suggesting?Maslow's theory is based on a simple premise: Human beings have needs that are hierarchically ranked (Maslow, 1943; Maslow, 1954).
