In Search of Adams' Other: Reexamination of Referents Used in the Evaluation of Pay
重新检验了Goodman(1974)关于薪酬评估中参照对象的研究,发现三类参照对象的公平感知与薪酬满意度强相关,且薪酬效价与参照类别的公平感知有关,但对影响参照选择的因素未获支持。
The paper provides a reexamination of Goodman's (1974) study of the referents used in evaluating pay. The present field research, largely in corroboration of Goodman (1974), found that perceptions of pay equity with respect to three classes of referents are strongly associated with pay satisfaction. In addition, pay valence was found to be associated with perceptions of equity vis-a-vis referent classes. This research was generally not supportive of Goodman's identification of factors affecting the selection of referents. Implications for future research are discussed.
