Laws in many countries mandate paying men and women equally when in similar jobs. Such laws, coupled with considerable organizational efforts, lead some scholars to contend that within-job pay inequality is no longer a source of the gender pay gap. We argue important differences in a widely used form of pay heretofore overlooked in existing studies-equity-based awards (i.e., pay where the value is tied to the employing organization's stock, such as stock and stock options)-may cause underestimation of gender-based within-job pay inequality. Specifically, we theorize that because of differences in both why and how equity-based awards are distributed to employees compared to other forms of pay, a gender gap will exist in equity-based awards, with biased perceptions of retention driving the gap. Using a multimethod study with novel data from two technology organizations, archival data from publicly traded firms, and experimental data, we find consistent support for our hypotheses. Taken together, our results suggest that using equity-based awards as a means to retain employees, and the rationale and processes associated with distributing such pay, can result in gender-based within-job inequality. Thus, our study sheds light on a previously overlooked form of inequality in the workplace while offering implications for both theory and practice.

性别公平差距:基于公平的奖励中工作内不平等的多项研究调查。

许多国家/地区的法律规定,男性和女性在从事类似工作时的报酬相同。这样的法律,加上相当大的组织努力,导致一些学者认为,在职薪酬不平等不再是性别薪酬差距的根源。我们认为,迄今为止在现有研究中被忽视的一种广泛使用的薪酬形式的重要差异——基于股权的奖励(即,价值与雇佣组织的股票挂钩的薪酬,如股票和股票期权)——可能会导致对性别的低估——基于工作内的薪酬不平等。具体来说,我们的理论是,由于与其他形式的薪酬相比,基于股权的奖励分配给员工的原因和方式存在差异,因此基于股权的奖励将存在性别差距,而对保留的偏见看法导致了这种差距。使用来自两个技术组织的新数据、公开交易公司的档案数据和实验数据的多方法研究,我们找到了对我们假设的一致支持。总之,我们的结果表明,使用基于股权的奖励作为留住员工的手段,以及与分配此类薪酬相关的原理和流程,可能会导致基于性别的工作内不平等。因此,我们的研究揭示了以前被忽视的工作场所不平等形式,同时为理论和实践提供了启示。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA,保留所有权利)。与分配此类薪酬相关的基本原理和流程可能导致基于性别的工作内不平等。因此,我们的研究揭示了以前被忽视的工作场所不平等形式,同时为理论和实践提供了启示。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA,保留所有权利)。与分配此类薪酬相关的基本原理和流程可能导致基于性别的工作内不平等。因此,我们的研究揭示了以前被忽视的工作场所不平等形式,同时为理论和实践提供了启示。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA,保留所有权利)。
