- Abstract
- The unexplained gender wage gap has long been a topic of interest for researchers and policymakers, but also in the public debate. Previous research has attempted to explain the wage gap with different variables, such as negotiation strategies, starting salaries, and pay expectations. This study has extended previous research by an examination of the role of self-efficacy in salary requirements. Furthermore, it has examined if there existed gender differences in salary requirements and whether this could be explained by differences in self-efficacy. Quantitative data were used from a cross-sectional digital survey answered by 67 law students at Lund University. The study showed a significant positive correlation between self-efficacy and...

The study showed a significant positive correlation between self-efficacy and salary requirements. However, the data showed no significant gender difference in self-efficacy or required salary. Based on the results it was concluded that self-efficacy plays an important role in salary requirements but more research on the gender wage gap is needed for further conclusions. (Less)
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Det oförklarade lönegapet mellan könen har länge varit ett ämne av intresse för forskare och beslutsfattare, men även i den allmänna debatten. Tidigare forskning har försökt att förklara lönegapet med olika variabler, såsom förhandlingsstrategier, ingångslöner, och löneförväntningar. Denna studie har utvidgat tidigare forskning genom en undersökning av vilken roll self-efficacy har i löneanspråk. Vidare undersökte studien om det existerade könsskillnader i löneanspråk och huruvida det kunde förklaras med skillnader i self-efficacy. Kvantitativ data har använts från en digital tvärsnittsstudie som besvarats av 67 juriststudenter vid Lunds universitet. Studien visade en signifikant positiv korrelation mellan self-efficacy och löneanspråk.... (More)

Kvantitativ data har använts från en digital tvärsnittsstudie som besvarats av 67 juriststudenter vid Lunds universitet. Studien visade en signifikant positiv korrelation mellan self-efficacy och löneanspråk. Dock hittades inga signifikanta könsskillnader i self-efficacy eller löneanspråk. Baserat på resultaten drogs slutsatsen att self-efficacy spelar en viktig roll för löneanspråk men mer forskning om den oförklarade löneskillnaden behövs för att dra fler slutsatser. (Less)
