Abstract
This study tested propositions from Florkowski's (1987) profit-sharing model based on the responses of 160 individuals. As predicted, performance-reward contingencies and pay equity were significant determinants of plan support. Profit-sharing support, in turn, was an important determinant of organizational commitment. The hypothesized link between influence on decision making and plan support was not substantiated, nor was there evidence that job satisfaction moderated the relationship between support for profit sharing and organizational commitment.Keywords
