Abstract

This article offers the first systematic review of empirical research addressing the question of why employers underpay their employees, from the perspective of employers themselves – a perspective largely missing from scholarly examination of wage law non-compliance. We conducted a comprehensive search of the vast peer-reviewed literature on the topic, identifying studies which collected and analyzed primary data from employers regarding why they breached wage laws. A review of these studies identified four broad types of explanation offered by employers relating to financial viability, perceived consequences of non-compliance, ethical and normative rationalization, and the role of external actors. We propose a research agenda and theoretical framework based on the key empirical, methodological and theoretical gaps which remain in understanding why employers underpay their employees, and discuss how this agenda can inform policy interventions designed to ameliorate the problem.

雇主对不遵守工资法的看法:现状和新的理解框架
这篇文章首次从雇主自身的角度对实证研究进行了系统的回顾,以解决雇主为什么少付员工工资的问题——这一观点在对工资法违规行为的学术研究中基本上是缺失的。我们对该主题的大量同行评审文献进行了全面搜索,确定了从雇主那里收集和分析他们为什么违反工资法的主要数据的研究。对这些研究的审查确定了雇主提供的四大类解释,涉及财务可行性、不遵守规定的感知后果、道德和规范合理化以及外部行为者的作用。我们提出了一个基于关键实证、方法论和理论差距的研究议程和理论框架,这些差距在理解雇主为什么少付员工工资方面仍然存在,并讨论了该议程如何为旨在改善问题的政策干预提供信息。
