A simple comparison of male and female nonprofit executives' salaries cannot give an accurate picture of the gender pay gap because it ignores the gender disparity in executive hiring among large nonprofit organizations, where the CEO receives a higher salary. This study examines CEO salaries at 668 regional chapters of a public benefit nonprofit organization in the U.S., while taking the connection between hiring and compensation disparities into consideration. The findings reveal that the underrepresentation of women CEOs in more resourceful organizations is at the root of gender pay gap for nonprofit executives. This study concludes that improving the gender equity in hiring will help narrow the pay disparity between male and female CEOs.

非营利组织 CEO 性别薪酬差距的根源

简单地比较男性和女性非营利组织高管的薪水并不能准确反映性别薪酬差距，因为它忽略了大型非营利组织在高管招聘中的性别差异，在这些组织中，首席执行官的薪水更高。本研究调查了美国一家公益性非营利组织 668 个地区分会的 CEO 薪酬，同时考虑了招聘和薪酬差异之间的联系。调查结果显示，在资源更丰富的组织中，女性 CEO 的代表性不足是非营利组织高管性别薪酬差距的根源。该研究得出的结论是，提高招聘中的性别平等将有助于缩小男女 CEO 之间的薪酬差距。
