Expectations about the level of equitable pay were negatively correlated with satisfaction with pay level, pay structure/administration, and amount of last raise. The four subscales of the pay satisfaction questionnaire were also positively correlated
with overall job satisfaction (Huber et al., 1992). Carraher and Buckley (1996) used confirmatory factor analysis to show the number of dimensions best used to measure pay satisfaction differed by cognitive complexity of employees. Four dimensions
(pay level, benefits, raises, and pay structure-administration) fit the data better for
more cognitively complex employees. In Shaw, Duffy, Jenkins, and Gupta (1999), confirmatory factor analysis showed that a four-factor model had the best fit with the data. Confirmatory factor analyses by Judge (1993b) and DeConinck et al. (1996) both found that the items from the PSQ loaded on the hypothesized dimensions, and the overall fit supported the four dimensional model. The factor loadings were similar across job classifications and the dimensions of the PSQ were empirically separable. Judge (1993b) found that the PSQ dimensions displayed differing patterns of correlations with hypothesized predictors. For example, salary level correlated positively with satisfaction with pay level; pay relative to others doing similar work in other companies correlated positively with all the PSQ dimensions; pay raise history correlated positively with satisfaction with raises; understanding of the pay system correlated positively with satisfaction with pay level, satisfaction with raises and satisfaction with pay structure and administration, but not with satisfaction with benefits. Pay satisfaction measured with the PSQ correlated positively with pay satisfaction measured by the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire and pay satisfaction measured by the Job Descriptive Index. All three measures of pay satisfaction correlated negatively with perceived inequity
in pay and positively with an employee's amount of pay. Correlations among pay
level, pay raises, and structure/administration [p. 34 ↓ ] were substantially larger than the correlations of these dimensions with satisfaction with benefits (Judge, 1993b;
