Effects of market survey rates, job evaluation, and job gender on job pay.

Abstract

The present study investigates the effects of current pay, market surveys, job evaluation points, job gender, and rater sex on pay rates for jobs. 400 compensation administrators assigned new pay rates to nine jobs in one of two matched job sets: either all predominantly female, or all predominantly male. The two sets were matched on all quantitative data (current rate, market rate, and job evaluation points), but varied in terms of job titles and descriptions. Multiple analyses of variance and regression analyses were performed to determine whether job gender had a significant effect on assigned pay rates, holding other factors constant. Regardless of the analysis employed, no evidence of gender bias was found. Limitations and suggestions for future research are offered.

Perceived fairness of web‐based applicant screening procedures: Weighing the rules of justice and the role of individual differences

“…In the present analysis, the statistic was 1.51, indicating a level of autocorrelation that could cause traditional OLS regression analysis to produce biased statistical tests of regression coefficients (Judge & Bretz, 1992). We followed a procedure used in past research to neutralize problems introduced by autocorrelation that involves entering a dummy variable for each participant in the first step of an OLS regression equation (e.g., Rotundo & Sackett, 2002;Rynes, Weber, & Milkovich, 1989). This controls for each participant's idiosyncratic contribution to the overall regression and, thus, should produce accurate statistical tests of coefficients.…”

“…However, similar to the approach used by Tomlinson, Dineen, and Lewicki (2004), their main effects are accounted for in Step 1, which controls for the idiosyncratic effects of each participant using the Rynes et al (1989) approach.…”

Workforce Segregation and the Gender Wage Gap: Is “Women's” Work Valued as Highly as “Men's”?1

“…The findings of these studies have been quite varied. The results of studies that follow the comparable‐worth paradigm of comparing jobs that are different in both tasks and gender composition (e.g., nurse vs. electrician) reveal that jobs that are typically held by women have been assigned fewer job‐evaluation points (see Hornsby, Benson, & Smith, 1987; Mahoney & Blake, 1987; Rynes, Weber, & Milkovich, 1989).…”

When We Don’t See Eye to Eye: Discrepancies between Supervisors and Subordinates in Absence Disciplinary Decisions

“…For example, age or age differences may influence a discipline decision each time an individual is confronted with a hypothetical discipline situation, much like age could influence disciplinary decisions over time (e.g., each time an individual is presented with an actual disciplinary decision). In fact, stable characteristics are usually duplicated in time series and policy capturing designs in the same way it was done in the present study (Feuille & Delaney, 1986;Judge & Bretz, in press;Martocchio & Judge, in press;Rynes, Weber, & Milkovich, 1989).…”
