On the relationship between objective increases in pay and employees' subjective reactions

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to analyze the correlation among pay increase sizes as a percentage of existing pay and employee perceptions of the bonuses' attractiveness to show that expanding bonus percentages were perceived as increasingly attractive at a diminishing rate. Sales personnel were studied using the psychophysical principle of constant proportion and the principle of diminishing returns. Bonus attractiveness was unrelated to existing salary using the constant percentage increase principle. There was a curvilinear connection between bonus size and its attractiveness. However, increasing bonus percentages grew more attractive at a diminishing rate.

Unraveling the mysteries of gender differences in intentions to leave the organization

Article Abstract:

Sex differences in the intention to leave an organization were studied using 595 individuals. Of the 595, 271 held executive-level positions. Results indicate that women had stronger intentions to leave an organization. However, when controlling for job satisfaction variables, regression analysis indicates that gender differences in intention to leave disappear. Improving job satisfaction based on meaningfulness of work and opportunities for advancement may increase the retention rate of female executives.

Article Abstract:

A study of dual earner couples shows that women tend to restructure their work activities to fit in family demands more than men do and that couples with large levels of family involvement have greater marital satisfaction and lower stress levels. The survey analyzed responses by both members of 39 dual earner couples on work and family involvement to predict stress, job and marital satisfaction and work restructuring. The particular work restructuring arrangements used were also tabled.
