There are many influences on job satisfaction, and models such as Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Hetzberg's hygiene factors, indicate that pay satisfaction is a key component, and while money alone may not always be a motivator, it has the potential to undermine the employment relationship if an employee does not see the amount they are paid as being fair (Buchanan and Huczynski, 2010).

If a worker is being paid less than others who are doing the same work, it may be seen as unfair. The equity assessment process is complex, it is not only the work itself that is considered, other influencing factors are also considered, where aspects such as seniority, qualifications, experience and competency are also included in the internal equity assessment (Adams, 1965). When employees compare themselves against others, it is not only those with in the same organization, but the organization's pay compared to other firms in the same in some industries. For example, if one firm is known for pain particularly low wages, it is highly likely that any employees who obtain jobs at that employer will suffer a degree of satisfaction, which may manifest in a higher attrition level, as well as other negative behavioral…

Compensation Management Different people gain different levels of satisfaction from their jobs. However, it is very difficult to measure with precision the degree of satisfaction people get from any work related activity they engage in.
