摘要

薪酬透明度措施的主要目的是降低薪酬体系的不透明性,缩小性别薪酬差距。为了调查薪酬透明度措施的行为影响,我们进行了一项激励性的在线实验,重点关注对员工绩效的影响,提供额外的努力和纠正薪酬差距的行动。我们发现,总体薪酬透明度不会影响员工的绩效。然而,通过披露相对工资,它确实干扰了工资低于平均水平的员工的努力和额外努力。此外,我们发现,薪酬透明度增加了纠正薪酬差距的潜在合理请求,同时减少了不合理请求。我们的证据还表明,员工反对不公平薪酬的努力和行动对相对于自身性别而非其他性别的较低相对工资更敏感。我们讨论了这些发现的潜在政策影响,并认为应该进行更多的研究,以更好地了解透明度措施的效率,特别关注性别参考群体。

Employees’ reaction to gender pay transparency: an online experiment
The primary aim of pay transparency measures is to make pay systems less opaque and to reduce the gender pay gap. To investigate the behavioural implications of pay transparency measures, we ran an incentivized online experiment focused on the effects on employees’ performance, provision of extra effort and actions to correct pay disparities. We found that overall pay transparency does not disrupt employees’ performance. However, by revealing relative wages, it does interfere with the provision of effort and extra effort of employees with a below-average wage. Moreover, we found that pay transparency increased potentially justified requests to correct pay disparities while decreasing unjustified requests. Our evidence also shows that employee’s effort and action against unfair pay are more sensitive to lower relative wage with respect to own gender, rather than the other gender. We discuss potential policy implications of these findings and argue that more research should be carried out to better understand the efficiency of transparency measures, with a particular focus on gender reference groups.

期刊介绍: Ekonomicheskaya Politika is a broad-range economic journal devoted primarily to the study of the economic policy of present-day Russia as well as global economic problems. The subject matters of articles includes macroeconomic, fiscal, monetary, industrial, social, regulation and competition policyand more. The journal also publishes theoretical papers in such areas as political economy, general economic theory, welfare economics, law and economics,and institutional economics.. The character and the scope of economic problems studied in many publications require a multidisciplinary approach, consistent with the editorial policy of the journal. While the thematic scope of articles is generally related to Russia, the aim of editorial policy is to cover politico-economic processes in the modern world and international economic relations, as well. In addition, Ekonomicheskaya Politika publishes Russian translations of classical and significant modern works of foreign economists.
