Compensation and Benefits Review

CSU’s Turner College of Business is home to the editorial offices of a number of academic journals.  One of these is Compensation & Benefits Review, the leading journal for senior executives and professionals who design, implement, evaluate and communicate compensation and benefits policies and programs.  The current editor of CBR is Phil Bryant, an associate professor of management in the Turner College.  CBR launched in 1969, and it aims to address important and difficult issues at all levels, such as income inequality, demographic wage gaps, strategic compensation, benefits strategy, total rewards, individual motivation and performance, and work-life balance.  CBR is currently published by SAGE Publishing, which is headquartered in Thousand Oaks, California.  Sixteen scholars comprise the Editorial Board of CBR.  This list includes Tesa Leonce, a professor of economics at CSU.  Among the other Editorial Board members are Ingrid Fulmer of the University of Illinois, Michael Gibbs of the University of Chicago, Luiz Gomez-Mejia of Arizona State University, Tae-Youn Park of Cornell University, and Ashley Whillans of Harvard University.  Currently, the most cited paper in the CBR is titled “Compensation, Benefits and Employee Turnover: HR Strategies for Retaining Top Talent.”  This study, authored by Bryant and David Allen (University of Memphis), offers managers several strategies for effectively managing employee turnover, including both compensation and benefits-based solutions as well as solutions beyond compensation and benefits.  Published in 2013, this study has been cited 314 times according to Google Scholar.
