A pay rise only leads to short-term satisfaction before the rut sets in again, according to a new study. With a rise comes a re-evaluation of status and you soon begin to start comparing your levels of pay to colleague’s again. However workers who are happy with their pay are less likely to have work and family conflicts, according to researchers. Scientists say how much a worker actually earns is just as important as how satisfied they are with their pay in determining their happiness. Professor Amit Kramer, of the University of Illinois, said: 'Pay, as you might expect, is a relative thing. 'I think most people would agree that a certain level of pay that allows you to meet your needs is critical. However, beyond that level, relative pay becomes an issue and with it, perception of pay or pay satisfaction.' But once workers achieve a sufficient level of pay, they shift their focus from what their pay allows them to do to other focal points - such as how much their colleagues earn. Professor Kramer explained: 'It becomes ‘my pay’ compared to others; ‘my pay’ compared to the effort I invest; ‘my pay’ compared to the things I give up and miss in life for the opportunity cost of working. And the study reveals the effect of a pay rise on pay satisfaction only has a moderate relationship that does not last very long. As an example, when employees change jobs, they re-evaluate their pay and are more likely to change their pay satisfaction, not necessarily because they get a raise, but because of the social aspect of pay. And even workers who earn a lot have high levels of family-work conflict because they also perceive inequality among colleagues. Professor Kramer said: 'If employees perceive work as a sacrifice they have to make, then the work environment itself is not ideal.' He believes employers should understand the sacrifices their workers make and offer different work arrangements and policies to compensate. (Read by Brian Salter.

最新研究顯示，加薪給人帶來的滿足感非常短暫，不久就一切如舊了。員工加薪后，會重新評估自己的狀態，不久就又開始和同事比較薪酬了。 但研究人員也表示，對自己薪酬滿意的員工能更好地平衡工作與家庭的關系。 科學家表示，在決定員工的幸福感方面，員工真實的薪酬和員工對薪酬的滿意度同樣重要。 伊利諾伊大學的阿密特-克雷默教授說：“可能和你想的一樣，薪酬是個相對的事物。” “能滿足你生活需要的一定水平的薪酬很重要。我想大多數人會認同這一點。但除了這一標準外，相對薪酬就顯得很重要了，還有對薪酬或薪酬滿意度的感知。” 一旦員工的薪酬足夠多，他們就開始把關注點從薪酬能讓他們做些什么轉移到其他方面了，比如其他同事賺多少錢。 雷默教授解釋說：“這就會轉變成，我的薪酬和其他人相比怎么樣；和我的投入相比怎么樣；和我在生活中為工作的機會成本所放棄的相比怎么樣。” 研究還顯示，加薪與薪酬滿足感之間僅存在相對關系，而且不會持續太久。 比如，員工跳槽后會重新評價自己的薪酬，他們的薪酬滿足感更有可能改變，這不是因為他們加薪了，而是因為薪酬的社會效應。 高薪酬的員工也會感到工作和家庭之間沖突很大，因為他們也會覺得員工之間存在不平等。 克雷默教授說：“如果員工覺得工作是一種必須的犧牲，那這種工作環境很不理想。” 他認為雇主應該理解員工做出的這種犧牲，并提供不同的工作安排和政策來給予補償。 相關閱讀 （中國日報網英語點津 Julie） |
