(PRWEB) July 14, 2007 -- The rules for paying top executives in any organization are constantly in flux. Even seasoned rewards professionals must keep up-to-date on all the issues to pass the scrutiny that the government and media place on executive compensation, while still attracting and retaining top talent with irresistible rewards. The need for current knowledge and information on the best practices of rewarding executives continues to grow.

The newest resource for newcomers and experienced human resource professionals is the WorldatWork publication Executive Compensation: An Introduction to Practice and Theory by Steve Balsam, Ph.D. This new release incorporates academic research into the effects and consequences of executive compensation programs. And, with theoretical explanations, it assists professionals involved in executive rewards in ensuring the organization has the various components of a compensation package that will achieve desired results, performance and retention.

Newcomers to the profession will benefit from the in-depth discussion of effective compensation practices in corporate America, while experienced practitioners will benefit from the concise summary of the vast academic literature.
