WAGE SURVEYS: DISPELLING SOME MYTHS ABOUT THE “MARKET WAGE”
审视了“市场工资”的概念及其测量过程（工资调查），认为学术界和法院对市场工资的构建与测量缺乏充分审视，并指出了对薪酬管理和未来研究的启示。
The comparable worth controversy has generated much discussion about the appropriate valuation of job worth. To date, academic inquiries into the measurement of job worth have focused primarily on job evaluation; however, recent court decisions suggest that market wages are a more compelling indicator of job worth than are job evaluation results. This paper examines the construct of “market wage” and the process by which it is measured (wage surveys). It is argued that both the construct and the measurement of the market wage have not been sufficiently examined by either academics or the courts. Implications for pay administration and future research are noted.
