The Pay Satisfaction Questionnaire

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Cross-Cultural Psychology

Background:

  • The Pay Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ) is widely used in the US.
  • Its generalizability across different cultures and organizational types is not well-established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the cross-cultural validity of the PSQ's 4-factor structure.
  • To determine if pay satisfaction dimensions differ across countries and industries.

Main Methods:

  • Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on data from four distinct samples.
  • Samples included for-profit employees, nonprofit nurses, cultural center employees, and nonprofit teachers.

Main Results:

  • The robust 4-factor structure (Pay Level, Benefits, Raises, Structure/Administration) was supported in three of the four samples.

  • In the teachers' sample, the Benefits factor was excluded, resulting in a 3-factor structure.

    • Conclusions:

    • The PSQ's 4-factor structure demonstrates generalizability across diverse samples and cultures.
    • Minor adaptations may be needed in specific contexts, such as excluding the Benefits factor for certain employee groups.
