LEE, Gregory John. Transcending paradox in the realm of South African executive pay. Acta Commer. [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.2, pp.164-203. ISSN 1684-1999.  https://doi.org/10.4102/ac.v16i2.418.

Chapter 6 addresses executive pay in South Africa. It reviews the rationale and critique of the quanta and mechanisms of executive pay and embeds the general debate within the fragile social structures of South African society. Executive pay is viewed as an organisational paradox, using the frameworks of Lewis (2000) and Smith and Lewis (2011) to pit mounting social disapproval and other issues against seeming economic imperatives that have yet to give way. Executive pay also engenders other types of paradox in the performance, organisation, belonging and learning spheres of organisations. Possible additional suggestions for improvement are suggested, incorporating acceptance and paradoxical resolution through iterative splitting and integration mechanisms.
