Transparency in remuneration is on the rise, but gender pay disparities in leadership positions continue to exist, negatively affecting firm performance. In addition to setting diversity targets and specific policies, a cultural understanding and the comprehensive implementation of equitable policies and procedures within the organization are crucial for promoting equality and equity of opportunity.
This paper explores the sociology of gender pay equality in leadership positions. Using a large compensation dataset, we examine the impact of gender pay inequality among directors and executives on firm performance. Based on a triangulation research design, quantitative outcomes are supplemented with semi-structured interviews to study compensation expectations, negotiation skills and gender differences in teamwork on boards of directors. The findings show that remuneration transparency is becoming the norm. However, compensation inequalities still exist and undermine performance. The results indicate that diversity targets or specific policies regarding equality and equity of opportunity are insufficient if they are not supported by a cultural understanding and the application of equitable policies and procedures throughout the organisation.
