O uso do lucro econômico na formulação de contratos de incentivo contingentes ao desempenho e o problema do horizonte: uma análise experimental

Abstract: The present study investigated whether the use of economic profit in performance-contingent incentive contracts motivates individuals to act more consistently with the long-term goals of the firm when the horizon problem is present. An experimental design was conducted. The experiment used a single factor between-subjects and pre-post treatment with a control group. The experimental task was to invest resources in long-term actions with the goal of maximizing the future cash flow of a photocopy store. The stud… Show more

“…The accounting literature has mostly focused on economic motives to explain intertemporal choices (Aguiar, 2011). In particular, the focus has been on identifying the best way to combine different performance measures in order to induce managers to balance their effort between the short-and long-term financial consequences of their actions (Abernethy et al, 2013;Aguiar et al, 2014;Banker & Datar, 1989;Farrel et al, 2008;Feltham & Xie, 1994;Pinheiro, Galdi, & Oyadomari, 2012;Santos, 2015). The main expectation of this literature is that the use of financial performance measures (e.g., profit) leads managers to focus on short-term actions; while the inclusion of either non-financial or return measures induces them to better balance intertemporal choices (Abernethy et al, 2013).…”

“…The alignment promoted by performance evaluations is one of the main aspects considered in the formulation of incentive contracts because they cause a direct impact on the intensity of efforts made in task performance in the company (Santos, 2012) and on the organizational climate. The management area literature considers congruence to be the compatibility between Luciana Klein / Romualdo Douglas Colauto the trustees' and the company's interests.…”

“…Os resultados desta tese poderão contribuir para uma melhor compreensão por parte de investidores, conselhos de administração, conselhos e consultores de remuneração das estratégias para elaboração das fórmulas de incentivo com base nos tipos e níveis de incentivos e no uso de uma variável de desempenho organizacional que não incorpore os vieses inerentes às medidas contábeis e financeiras descritas por Aguiar (2009), Santos (2012) e Merchant e Stede (2012).…”

“…Outra possibilidade foi explorada por Santos (2012) ao testar se o uso do lucro econômico motivaria os agentes a aumentarem seu foco em ações que maximizem o valor da empresa no longo prazo. Considerando que o agente tenha conhecimento sobre como é composto o lucro econômico, o autor confirma sua hipótese de pesquisa e evidencia inadequações dos contratos de incentivo com base em medidas de desempenho que podem distorcer o horizonte temporal dos esforços dos agentes.…”
