Gender Differences in Pay Expectations: The Role of Self-Views
This research examined the role of self-related variables on the pay expectations of pre-career women and men. Findings reveal a gender gap in pay expectations that is considerably wider for peak career pay than for early career pay. The gap at both times was reduced when three self-related variables (sex-type of chosen job, self-esteem, and self-monitoring) on which women and men differed were considered, by 87% for early career pay expectations and by 37% for peak career pay expectations. The relationship between gender and pay expectations at both time periods was moderated by self-efficacy, with women’s highest pay expectations accompanying high levels of self-efficacy and men’s highest pay expectations accompanying moderate levels of self-efficacy. Results are explained through construal level theory, which explains that temporal distance impacts the use of detailed information in decision making.
