The Effect of the Proportion of Women on Salaries: The Case of College Administrators.

Pfeffer, Jeffrey; Davis-Blake, Alison

Administrative Science Quarterly, v32 n1 p1-24 Mar 1987

Examines the effect of the proportion of women administrators on both men's and women's salaries in colleges and universities. Identifies four theoretical predictors: economic competition and crowding, demographic group power, group interaction, and institutionalization. Increasing the proportion of women actually decreases salaries for both sexes! Includes 7 tables and 62 references. (MLH)
