Antecedents and consequences of the adoption of market-based compensation by Israeli Kibbutzim

Abstract

This chapter analyzes the antecedents and consequences of transformations that have recently been occurring among Israeli kibbutzim. After serving for nearly a century as some of the world's best known examples of organizations that distribute resources “from each, according to ability, to each according to need,” most kibbutzim now pay their members differential salaries on the basis of the market value of their work.
