title = {Performance Principle and Organizational Compensation Practice in the Context of the Global Financial Crisis: A Discourse-analytical Study},
year = {2013},
note = {Criticism of the compensation practice of bonus payments was a key
element of the public debate concerning the causes and consequences of
the global financial crisis (GFC). Along with the criticism of bonuses
in the financial and banking sector, the validity of the performance
principle as a normative pillar of the economic order was also called
into question. Based on the discourse contained in the Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung, the following study reconstructs the topoi of
criticism and justification as problematizations of a ‘bonus
culture’, with corresponding reference to the performance principle
as a ‘discursive resource’. In this way the aim is to make a
general contribution to the understanding of the social embedding of
organizational practices that becomes evident in times of crisis,
while at the same time furthering the debate on the normative validity
of the performance principle.},
