abstract: 'The concept of a living wage is defined by quality of life and work

  life, not merely economic subsistence. It extends to adequate

  participation in organizational and social life. In development

  economics, these crucial components of ``decent work{''''} connect with

  ``capabilities{''''}, whose development is important to individuals,

  organizations and society. However, the links between income and

  capabilities remain unknown, and living wages are often set by fiat. By

  integrating theories from development studies, management, psychology

  and employment relations into a single concentric, contingency model,

  the authors derive a series of propositions with which to test this

  context-sensitive model in empirical research.'
