Employee benefits seem less related to merit pay, but I guess they could influence overall job satisfaction, right?

I’m a bit confused about organizational structure—does it really affect merit pay? I thought it was more about individual performance.

Okay, I think I've got a good handle on this. The main things to focus on are the company's culture and values, as well as its financial performance and market position. The other factors are important too, but those seem to be the core drivers of merit pay.
