%T Internal and external pay equity perception among managers in the Malaysian oil and gas industry
%X 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)
