In a study of nearly 20,000 employees at public universities, researchers have found that workers are more concerned about whether their compensation is fair based on the work they’re doing, rather than simply whether they earn more or less than their peers.

The findings, published in the Strategic Management Society’s Strategic Management Journal, diminish some companies’ concerns that going public with salary information could lead to a decline in aggregate productivity. Instead, the authors discovered that small shifts in work output are highly individualized, and they may reflect workers’ responses to how closely they feel their efforts align with the pay they receive.
