Instructions for Salary Satisfaction and Job Offers: Part C


In this part of the study, you are asked to rate how likely you would accept a job offer at a salary offer, given the salaries of others doing the same work. Assume that the others doing the same work are equally experienced, qualified, and productive as you are.

On each trial, you will see the salary that you are offered, and the salaries of others who work at the same company. In each case, the salary they offer you is labeled Your Salary and the salary or salaries of other(s) who already work there are labeled as Others.

For example, imagine that one other person doing the same work is paid $46,000, and you are offered $40,000. How likely would you be to take the job? In another case, imagine that you are offered $52,000 per year and there are two others who are paid $40,000 and $70,000.

Please scroll down and read over all of the possible job offers. Please rate how likely you would be to accept each job offer, compared to all of the other job offers. When judging your likelihood to accept each job offer in each scenario, we want you to think of and compare all the other scenarios as well as consider your salary and those of the others in the same company. That is, your ratings should be higher on a given trial if you think you would be more likely to accept this job than the others in this same study on the other trials.

You should assume that all other aspects of the companies are the same; that is, assume that they have equal resources, that raises will be the same at any of the companies, and that the gaps in salaries between people who work there will remain the same. In other words, please do not imagine that things will change over time or imagine other differences among the companies aside from what is given in each scenario.

Your task is to rate how likely you would be to accept each job offer, now that you know what other people are getting who are doing the same work at the company. Please make your ratings by clicking along the 7 point scale to indicate how likely you would be to accept each job offer, compared to the other job offers:
Very Unlikely to accept the job offer to Very Likely to Accept the Job Offer
