The Impact of Pay Differences of Joint Venture Chinese on Their Job Attitudes: Examining the Moderating Effects of Individual Differences

Listed in Harvard Dataverse

Since the open-door policy in China started in 1979, the Chinese government has shifted towards the development of market economies.

Description

One of the critical roles of China’s economic development is played by joint ventures. This study attempts to investigate how comparative pay differences as perceived by joint venture Chinese impact on their work attitudes.

For joint venture Chinese, there are two major reference groups for pay comparisons: local Chinese employees in the same joint venture, Chinese employees in other joint ventures. This study will base its theoretical foundations on the equity theory. However, equity theory has neglected the issues of individual differences in the past.

This study hopes to include individual factors in order to enhance the theory’s predictability. This study considers equity sensitivity as a moderate variable. This study proposes two research questions: (1) Whether or not comparative pay differences of joint venture Chinese affect their job attitudes?

(2) Whether or not individual difference variables have moderate effects on the above relationships? The research procedures were as follows: The procedures of this research project are as follows: First, the researcher reviewed literature. Second, the researcher based upon literature to derive their hypotheses.

The variables were measured by questionnaires and used to examine relationships among them. The formal research was distributed through personal relationships of the researchers. One hundred and sixty-two questionnaires were replied.

Based upon the respondents’ answers, this study’s hypothetical model was tested. Finally, the implication of management of the study are discussed.
