In this work it is shown, by means of a stylized model that the use of compensation plans for stock options requires considering the relationship that must exist between exercise prices and the expected valuation of the price of shares in the market of capitals. Indeed, the objective of synchronizing managerial behavior with the interests of the owners of capital can be seriously affected, if the option contracts are written under strongly in the money conditions, creating expectations of high profits with less than optimal efforts.
