Abstract

Ever since the beginning of the Reform and Opening-up, state-owned enterprises in China have experienced remarkable and successive surge in both their revenue and scale during the past three decades. Along with their development, many problems have been exposed, for example, many senior executives are overpaid while their payments are not that highly related to the performance of the enterprises they work for and also there exists a large income gap between senior executives and ordinary employees. Due to the faultiness of the payment system for senior executives, the management of payments in state-owned enterprises is still a disorder. Meanwhile, because of the lack of proper incentives, the long term development of the enterprise is not a concern for some executives. Consequently, these enterprises will not be able to improve its productivity, working efficiency and competitiveness in international market. Moreover, the high perquisite consumption of senior executives and their being overpaid have intensified the unfairness of income distribution in China and triggered a mood of discontentment among ordinary Chinese people. Since the carrying-out of classified reform, state-owned enterprises started recruiting professional managers which has also brought fresh element to the senior executive payment system. To find a better way to perfect the payment system and cope with new challenges, Chinese government has issued the Reform Proposal for the Payment System in Central Managing Enterprises on January 1st, 2015, which marks the beginning of the reform of payment system for senior executives in state-owned enterprises. The reform has performed well ever since its being conducted, the payments for most senior executives in state-owned enterprises have decreased by 35%. Meanwhile, pilot reforms have also started in about 6,000 subordinate enterprises, and 25 provinces in China have set down the reform proposals for local enterprises. However, there are still some problems to be solved. The reform of payment system for senior executives is a reform of great importance for state-owned enterprises, it cannot be finished in a few years, neither can it be fulfilled by simply decreasing their salaries. In essence, the actual situations of enterprises should be taken into consideration in the process of perfecting the payment system so that the reform can be truly fulfilled.
