Regular salary equity studies can be a best practice among employers committed to salary equity and fairly managed compensation. While a well-constructed salary study can identify inequities for amelioration, a poorly constructed study can create rather than solve problems. Organizations may be deterred from doing these studies because of their inherent analytical challenges. We provide a guide for human resource managers describing how to conduct their own salary studies, how to interpret the results, and how organizations can apply the results. We describe best practices across public sector organizations and illustrate them with an example from higher education. We also provide a link to an online appendix containing sample code that can be used to conduct such analyses using two popular software packages. The twin goals of the article are to increase the quality of salary analyses while reducing the barriers to conducting them.

如何进行薪资公平研究：以高等教育为例

在致力于薪资公平和合理管理的薪酬的雇主中，定期薪资公平研究可能是最佳实践。结构合理的薪资研究可以发现需要改善的不平等现象，而结构较差的研究可以创造而不是解决问题。由于其固有的分析挑战，组织可能会阻止进行这些研究。我们为人力资源经理提供了指南，描述了如何进行自己的薪资研究，如何解释结果以及组织如何应用结果。我们描述了公共部门组织中的最佳做法，并以高等教育为例进行了说明。我们还提供了指向包含一些示例代码的在线附录的链接，这些示例代码可用于使用两个流行的软件包进行此类分析。
