| contents | A Study of Salary Determinants within the SUNY Librarians' Association between 1973 and 1974. Genova, B. K. L. College Libraries Employment Statistics Librarians Library Research Library Science Salaries Salary Wage Differentials Statistical Analysis This study was an investigation of salary differentials among State University of New York librarians representing university centers, state colleges, agricultural and technical colleges, and special and medical schools. Of institutions with active membership in the State University of New York Librarians' Association (SUNYLA), 337 librarians in 1973 and 421 in 1974 responded to mailed questionnaires; those not responding were contacted by telephone. They supplied information on salary, rank--assistant, associate, or full librarian, sex, education, and years of professional experience. Statistical analyses showed significant differences between salaries of men and women, all else being equal. The average earnings of women were lower than those of men and mean income level of all respondents. Men were found to move through the ranks faster than women; however, no pattern of salary distribution was detected between men and women within each rank. Rank was found to be the strongest predictor of salary, other significant predictors being years of professional experience and sex. Additional variables noted to consider in further analyses of sex differentials in salary are length of time within a rank, administrative function, age, and mobility for job advancement. Detailed data analyses are included. Appended are results of a multivariate analysis by type of institution. (KP) |
