The aim of this article is to identify and analyze solutions used in the area of remuneration in self-governing (turquoise) organizations, with particular emphasis on those in which lean management was also applied. A qualitative approach based on literature review and analysis of available case studies was applied. Organizations operating in the turquoise model have been included, focusing on their remuneration systems and their links with efficiency, transparency and innovation. The remuneration systems in turquoise organizations are characterized by transparency, based on objective criteria of efficiency and commitment. They promote a culture of equality, collective responsibility and strengthen the development of competences, which promotes the creation of a work environment friendly to employees and consistent with the idea of sustainable development. The results of the study can be an inspiration for managers also in traditional organizations, looking for ways to motivate employees and develop their potential in a spirit of sustainable efficiency. These mechanisms can be adapted at selected positions, also supporting the transformation toward Lean 4.0. The article fills an existing research gap on the practical aspects of remuneration systems in self-managing organizations and their importance for sustainable human resource management.
