Salary Compression in Faculty Salaries: Identification of a Suppressor Effect.

McCulley, William L.; Downey, Ronald G.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v53 n1 p79-86 Spr 1993

The suppressor effect was interpreted as salary compression, or the failure of the organization to recognize seniority with adequate compensation increases while meeting market values for new hires.
