Variations in Earnings in the Work Settings: A Work Stratification Perspective (Work Rewards, Achievements, Sexual Inequalities, Managerial Earning Processes, Resource Allocation)

The debate of what determines earning variations persists between the individualistic and structural views. My dissertation further explores this important question by incorporating into a combined framework the work stratification perspective (Spaeth, 1982), which, often neglected in earnings studies, argues that work power in terms of relational and resource control strongly determines earnings. This research combines individual, work role and organization levels to analyze earning variations, and investigates the generalizability of work power conception, and monetary reward allocation for a sample of Illinois workers and subsamples of men vs. women and managers vs. nonmanagers.
