Determinants of salaries earned: comparisons of black and white healthcare managers

Article Abstract:

A model of salaries received by white male, black male, white female and black female executives in the healthcare industry was designed and tested. Results indicate that whites earn more than blacks and that females of both races earn less than males. In all four executive groups, individual attainments were found to predict higher salaries. The only group to be rewarded for a specialized degree in healthcare management was that composed of black males. On the other hand, the only group that did not enjoy higher salaries as a result of the supervision of whites within the organization was that comprised of white females.

Goal setting and competition as determinants of task performance

Article Abstract:

Initial experiments to observe the effects of combined goal setting and competition on task performance disclosed that competition had a strong disfunctional effect on performing goal-oriented tasks. The experiments appear to disprove a previous belief that competition is an effective incentive to performance. This also demonstrated the efficacy of cooperative work. which increases production in a goal-set environment.
