Promotions and Race: An Analysis of Wage Returns and Job Satisfaction

Abstract: Using a nationally representative sample of workers in the United States, we find evidence to suggest the wage returns to promotions for black males are about 48 per cent of the wage returns that white males earn. As black males earn, on average, significantly less than white males, the gap in the wage returns to promotions creates a larger impact on the absolute returns. Despite the racial gap in the monetary reward to a promotion, we do not find evidence to suggest that black males are less satisfied with th… Show more

“…The inter-connectedness job satisfaction to many concepts is therefore a probable reason for its increasing complexity and recurrence in research (Aziri, 2011). Conceptually, job satisfaction refers to the balance between expectations and values on one hand, and perception of workplace realities and conditions (Tripp & Fadlon, 2020;Wanous & Lawler, 1972). An imbalance arising from perception falling below employees' expectations result in job dissatisfaction.…”

“…From extant literature, empirical enquiries on employees' job satisfaction have focused on either its determinants (Alnuaimi, Ali, & Al-Younis, 2020;Kelly et al, 2015;Shaheen, Al-Hniti, Bani Salameh, Alkaid-Albqoor, & Ahmad, 2021); what it affects (Alnuaimi et al, 2020;Aziri, 2011;Tripp & Fadlon, 2020;Waltz et al, 2020) and how it is related to other concepts such as burnout, stress, workload, intention to quit or work-behavior (Acea-López, Pastor-Bravo, Rubinat-Arnaldo, Bellon, Blanco-Blanco, Gea-Sanchez, & Briones-Vozmediano, 2021; Alkahtani, 2015; Alnuaimi et al, 2020;Aziri, 2011;Chen, Brown, Bowers, & Chang, 2015). As evident from empirical research, most of these studies have explored job satisfaction with little consideration for its embeddedness, interconnectedness and complex nature.…”

“…Our participants’ desire to receive a more lasting, substantive return on their investment of time and energy may hearken to the legacy of structural racism in the United States that systematically pays workers of color less money for the same work (Tripp & Fadlon, 2019). Considering alternative compensation strategies (beyond gift cards and free food or T-shirts provided at community events) may allow research teams to build their participant base in a lasting way, while providing evidence of their genuine desire to give back to the community from which they are gaining valuable data that may further their academic careers.…”
