“…In our calculations, the loss of wage for female workers is about 8 percent, which is still visible but much smaller than the average for the Austrian economy. This result concerning the gender wage gap corresponds to other studies for the nonprofit sector (for example, Mesch and Rooney, 2008;Sampson and Moore, 2008).…”

Voluntary work provides a major source of labor for many nonprofit organizations. Consequences of volunteers and paid staff working alongside each other in nonprofits are well documented. This article contributes to this strand of literature and investigates whether the presence of volunteer work influences paid employees' wages in nonprofit organizations. We estimated a multilevel wage equation accounting for personal characteristics of workers and characteristics of nonprofits. The analysis revealed that nonprofit organizations engaging volunteers pay lower wages to their employees. Our findings contribute to the understanding of wage-setting behavior of nonprofits and improve the methodological approach of empirical research in this field.

“…As Gibelman () says, the “underlying values of the nonprofit sector, which include humanitarianism, charity, human rights, and human well‐being, suggest that representative organizations would voluntarily and systematically seek to adhere to principles of affirmative action and nondiscrimination in their labor force practices” (254). Nevertheless, there is preliminary evidence that also in nonprofit organizations women are underrepresented in higher management positions (Gibelman ; Sampson and Moore ). Whereas the mechanisms resulting in underrepresentation of women in management have been studied extensively in for‐profit organizations, empirical insights into these mechanisms for nonprofit organizations remain limited.…”

“…Sampson and Moore (2008) identified significant difference among males and females with respect to job title and salary. Sharma, Sharma and Devi (2012) revealed more role stress among banking employees who earned a monthly salary of more than ` 20,000 and further concluded that the banking employees with higher salary are six times more susceptible to role stress as compared to those who are earning relatively lesser salary.…”

The present study examines the demographic profile of the Indian soldiers and analyzes the differences in opinions of soldiers according to six demographic variables, namely, designation, income, qualification, age, length of service and marital status. A sample of 415 soldiers of the Indian army selected through stratified random sampling was surveyed using structured schedules. ANOVA and post-hoc tests were applied to analyze the data. The findings of the study suggest significant differences on the basis of designation, age, service tenure and marital status mainly with regard to three occupational stressors, namely, ineffective leadership style, lack of control at work and role ambiguity. Furthermore, income and qualification were the only demographic variables showing significant and insignificant differences, respectively, for all occupational stressors. A comparison of mean scores of demographic characteristics revealed that single soldiers belonging to lower ranks (sepoys and naiks) and younger age group (20-30 years) having service tenure of less than 10 years suffer highest from occupational stress in the army. Additionally, inadequate training and workload were more stress creating factors for higher ranks (such as JCOs) and soldiers with higher length of service, in contrast to other groups. The study also highlights practical recommendations to curtail stress in the Indian army.
