Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to examine determinants of the reward allocation behavior from a multidimensional standpoint.
In the main study, subjects were shown scenarios of the allocation behavior, and asked to indicate with “Yes-No”, which of the items describing the situation where allocation behavior occurs made participants agree to allocate equitably (or equally). Answers from the main survey were analyzed first, using Hayashi's quantification theory type III and cluster analysis. In this analysis, items were divided into subgroups under the headings of equity and equality conditions. Further, the answers were analyzed using Hayashi's quantification theory type II. In this analysis, items which contribute largely to equity or equality allocation were selected.
As a result of these analyses, it was suggested that the characteristics of the work was one of the several important factors which determines the reward allocation behavior.
