Ability, values, and concepts of equitable salary increases in exercise compensation

Abstract

113 GRADUATE BUSINESS STUDENTS RECOMMENDED ANNUAL SALARY INCREASES FOR 10 FICTITIOUS ENGINEERS, EACH WITH A DIFFERENT REASON FOR BEING GIVEN A RAISE. THE MEAN RECOMMENDATION WAS 9.3%. RECOMMENDERS WERE MORE GENEROUS IF SS WERE OF LOWER INTELLIGENCE AND ACHIEVEMENT, AND IF THEY HELD STRONG SOCIAL AND SERVICE RATHER THAN THEORETICAL AND ECONOMIC VALUES. THEY ALSO WERE MORE WILLING TO SPEND COMPANY MONEY FOR OTHER SOCIAL AND PERSONNEL PURPOSES. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
