ABSTRACT:
The results of a study on the effects of wage inequality on satisfaction, productivity, and collaboration in academic departments suggest that the greater the degree of wage dispersion within departments, the lower is the individual faculty members' satisfaction and research productivity and the less likely it is that teachers will collaborate on research. Data consists of responses by more than 17,000 individuals to the Carnegie Commission's 1969 survey of college and university faculty. The results indicate that the negative effects of wage dispersion on satisfaction are reduced for people who are more committed (have longer tenure), in fields with more developed scientific paradigms, and when salaries are based more on experience and scholarly productivity, but they are greater for those who earn comparatively less money. In addition, wage dispersion has a smaller negative effect on job satisfaction at private schools in which salaries are less likely to be known.
