摘要：

In this article we explore theoretical explanations of managers' decisions about flexible benefit plans. First, we examine the adoption and design of flexible benefit plans through four theoretic lenses: (1) institutional, (2) resource dependence, (3) agency, and (4) transaction cost. We then integrate the relevant insights gained from these theories into a more complete model and derive propositions for future research. Finally, we generalize the insights gained from exploring a specific innovation to broader questions surrounding decisions about other human resource innovations.
