Abstract

The study focused and examined the perception of both local and expatriates managers within the Malaysian Oil and Gas industry on pay equity and the perceived influence of several variables in salary determination within heir current organizations. Based on Jaques (1967) study on pay equity, the perception was tackled rom four aspects - the individual comparison, the economic comparison and the nternal and external work content comparison. From this exploratory research, it was found that more than 50% of the respondents had strong negative perception towards pay equity. In other words, pay equity was seen not to exist within their current organizations. Apart from that, it was also found that the managers perceived that their ears of relevant experience in the particular area of specialization and expertise are the two main influences on their salary determination. On the contrast, gender and luck were perceived by the managers to have the least influence owards their salary determination. (Author's abstract)
