MAKING JUSTICE SENSE OF LOCAL-EXPATRIATE COMPENSATION DISPARITY: MITIGATION BY LOCAL REFERENTS, IDEOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS, AND INTERPERSONAL SENSITIVITY IN CHINA-FOREIGN JOINT VENTURES.
研究中外合资企业本地员工如何看待与外派人员的薪酬差距，发现参照其他合资企业的高薪酬、意识形态解释以及外派人员的人际敏感性可缓解不公平感，进而影响薪酬满意度和离职意愿。
We examined how local employees of international joint ventures (IJVs) perceived disparity between their compensation and foreign expatriates' compensation from equity theory and social justice perspectives. Chinese locals perceived less fairness when comparing their compensation with expatriates' than when comparing it with other locals'. However, fairness vis-a-vis expatriates increased if the locals were compensated higher than their peers in other IJVs or endorsed ideological explanations for expatriates' advantage. Furthermore, expatriates' interpersonal sensitivity toward locals reduced the effect of disparity on perceived fairness. Finally, perceived compensation fairness was related positively to compensation satisfaction but negatively to intentions to quit.
