Testing the Effect of Level and Importance of Pay Referents on Pay Level Satisfaction
基于162名制药经理的纵向数据，检验了薪酬参照对象的水平和重要性如何交互影响薪酬水平满意度，发现交互效应因满意度量表而异。
Using 162 pharmaceutical managers in a longitudinal research design, this study tested whether level and importance of a pay referent interacted to affect pay level satisfaction. Five pay referents (financial, historical, organization, market, and social) and three standardized pay level satisfaction scales (Job Descriptive Index, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Pay Satisfaction Questionnaire) were used. After controlling for employee salary, job inputs, job characteristics, pay system administration, and level and importance pay referent main effects, interactive effects were found which varied by pay satisfaction scale. Results and limitations of this study are discussed.
