Salary Dispersion, Location in the Salary Distribution, and Turnover among College Administrators
Abstract
This paper examines how the amount of dispersion in an organization's salary distribution and an individual's location in that distribution affect turnover. Using data for the years 1978–79 and 1983–84 on more than 10,000 administrators in 821 U.S. colleges and universities, the authors find that salary dispersion negatively affected the turnover of administrators with relatively high salaries and positively affected the turnover of those with relatively low salaries. The joint effect of salary dispersion and relative salary on turnover was strengthened when salary information was publicly available and when a well-developed external labor market was present.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
