اثرات پیش بینی و سازگاری تغییرات دستمزد درونی و بین فردی بر رضایت شغلی

Our results indicate that wage changes have a statistically significant positive effect on job satisfaction. This effect exhibits a dynamic pattern. We observe an anticipation effect and positive, but declining effects on job satisfaction four years after the wage increase, i.e., partial adaptation. We find that an additional increase in job satisfaction is obtained when the individuals’ wage changes exceed the average wage changes for their reference group. However, this effect does not appear to persist, since it fades out two years after the wage change.
