Citations in the corpus

• Executive pay dispersion, corporate governance, and firm performance (2008, background): “Contradicting the equity fairness predictions, Hibbs and Locking (2000) report that compression of wage dispersion in Swedish companies depressed output and labor productivity.”
• The Impact of Educational Mismatch on Firm Productivity: Evidence from Linked Panel Data (2012, unknown): “17 according to that of Iaffaldano and Muchinsky (1985). Under the hypothesis that over-education leads to less job satisfaction, this finding suggests that educational mismatch may hurt productivity but to a limited extent.”
• Pay inequality and firm performance: evidence from matched employer–employee data (2002, background): “Using Swedish data on individual wages and aggregated industry information on productivity, Hibbs and Locking (2000) report a positive effect of within-plant and withinindustry wage dispersion on industry productivity.”
• The effect of wage dispersion on team outcome and the way team outcome is produced (2011, background): “Yet, other studies find no relationship between the wage structure and firm performance (Leonard, 1990; Hibbs and Locking, 2000).”
