Mimimum salary - Total Participation Management

For many people the concept of "minimum salary" or "fair salary" seems to be political one or strictly connected with social Church teachings - in general it is not useful in management, for some people it is even harmful. However, examining many different companies and organizations I realize that there is such thing as "minimum salary" that has a crucial meaning for management. It is threshold value, below which there is no sense in talking about reward systems, motivating people, bonuses etc. At this moment that salary in Poland is about 1800 zloty's (net pay). There are of course some fluctuations in different regions and professions. This is the salary that allows people who live economically not to fall into poverty. If an employer can not afford to pay such salary to his employees, they should exactly know why is it happening and what needs to happen to change this situation. Every employee has a right to know this information because he or she needs it to plan his or her life and future occupation. If he or she knows it, it is Total Participation Management. The work becomes motivating. There is however the level of payment over which money is not an issue anymore - it is all about challenge, about doing something new. It is hard to estimate that level, much depends on accumulated fortune, family situation etc., it can be even 5000 zloty’s right now in Poland. Motivational meaning of Total Participation bases on the fact that employee knows where he/she is at the moment, and where he/she can get in achieving goals. Traditional management systems are like walking in the mountains with eyes being closed.
