| Abstract: | One hundred and sixty-eight business students rated five jobs on the five compensable factors of a job evaluation system used by a department of the Canadian government. The results indicated significantly lower job evaluation ratings to the job descriptions with female-stereotyped titles than the same descriptions with gender-neutral titles. Knowledge of current pay rates among the five jobs did not moderate the other effects. Evidence is presented that some degree of pay discrimination will persist even when pay equity replaces equal pay statuses. The problems of pay discrimination far outweigth job evaluation limitations. Implications of these findings are discussed. |
