Abstract
The present study manipulated the gender composition and the current pay level of one of three jobs in an experiment designed to address potential gender bias in job evaluation. Three samples of subjects participated. We obtained little evidence to suggest that gender composition influenced the evaluations of the manipulated job or the relative value assigned to the three jobs. Pay level, on the other hand, consistently influenced the relative value of the job evaluations and also influenced the absolute values of the total evaluation score and one compensable factor. There were few differences in results as a function of sample. Implications of the results for research on possible gender bias in pay-setting and for further research are discussed.
