Does Wage Rank Affect Employees' Well-being?

| description | How do workers make wage comparisons? Both an experimental study and an analysis of 16,000 British employees are reported.

They depend upon the ordinal rank of an individual's wage within a comparison group. “Rank” itself thus seems to matter to human beings. Moreover, consistent with psychological theory, quits in a workplace are correlated with pay distribution skewness. |
