Abstract:
In the past few years, there has been an increased interest by organizations, the government, the media, and company shareholders in both the size and the cause of the gender and race/ethnicity
wage gap. Although compensation is not a topic taught in most I-O graduate programs, I-O psychologists have a skill set that can help reduce the wage gap. In this presentation, we will:
-
Discuss the size of the wage gap
-
Identify the factors that influence pay
-
Discuss how I-O psychologists can help ensure that these factors are applied fairly
-
Describe the steps in the “typical” pay equity study
-
Have a rousing, enlightening, interactive discussion on how I-O psychologists can improve the ways in which these studies are conducted by better determining jobs that are "similarly situated"
