Description
Summary:Despite numerous studies of pay comparisons and pay satisfaction among public and private sector workers, little is known about correlates of employee satisfaction with pay. Investigates the correlates of pay satisfaction among UK academics. Using a questionnaire methodology, the study found that over 50 per cent of the respondents expressly stated that they were dissatisfied with their pay. The results of a three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that female academics are more satisfied with their pay when compared with their male colleagues. When rank was examined in relation to pay, senior lecturers were most satisfied, followed by professors, lecturers and readers in that order. The differences in satisfaction levels with rank and gender are statistically significant. However, there are no statistical differences with respect to age variations relating to satisfaction with pay. Explores the implications of these results.
