Uniformity and Variation in Occupational Earngs Determination: Potential Sources of Incomparable Worth
研究了不同职业群体中薪酬决定因素是否被统一对待，发现补偿因素在不同职业间存在差异但无根本性不同，对可比价值问题有启示。
This article examined earnings across different occupational groups to determine whether compensable factors (characteristics on which organizations base compensation) are treated uniformly. The dependent variable for this study was the log, of mean occupational earnings for males employed year-round in 300 out of 463 detailed 1970 Census occupations. The independent variables were human capital, labor market, industry, and job task. Job task variables were based on the Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ). Factor, correlation, and regression analyses were used to examine the data. Results indicate that compensable factors are rewarded differentially among occupational groups, but that there are no radically different emphases on specific compensable factors. The implications of these differencesfor the comparable worth issue callfor additional research.
