An Examination Of Country And Culture-Based Differences In Compensation Practices, A M. Townsend, Dow Scott, S E. Markham
Dow Scott
This study explores the relationship between country-based and culture-based differences in pay practices. Pay data from forty-one manufacturing industries in twenty-eight countries across five different culture clusters were examined. Although significant differences were found between countries in terms of pay level, the largest portion of the variance in the relationship between wages and benefits is due to cultural affiliation. The implications for cultural clustering theory and internationally pay decisionmaking are discussed.

Gender Differences In Absenteeism, Dow Scott, E L. Mcclellan
Dow Scott
Investigated employee characteristics and attitudes of 243 female and 105 male secondary school teachers to determine if men and women had different reasons for being absent. Although women perceived some work related factors differently than men and took substantially more days off than men, their absence occurrences were not significantly different. In addition, an employee's age and attitude toward pay were the only factors that exhibited a gender-related impact on absenteeism. Perceived role conflict and job involvement were significantly related to absenteeism for men and women.
