Abstract

Academic institutions are not immune to the widespread problem of gender discrimination. With an emphasis on the moderating role of education level and years of experience, this research examines the effects of gender discrimination on employee compensation in the setting of Taizhou universities. Staff members from all levels and departments were surveyed to compile the data, which was based on a quantitative techniques approach. The results show that there is a large disparity in compensation between the sexes, with men routinely making more money than women do for doing the same work. A person's degree of education became an important moderator, as it was shown that both men and women benefited financially from greater levels of education. Nonetheless, the gender gap was still quite noticeable, especially among female workers, indicating that prejudices against women exist even among the most educated. It is clear from the research that various interventions are necessary to successfully address wage discrepancies, since gender discrimination, education, and experience all interact in complicated ways. Transparent compensation rules, frequent pay audits, and diversity training and awareness initiatives to promote gender inclusivity in the workplace are some of the suggestions. Taken together, our findings highlight the long-lasting effects of sexism on university staff salaries in Taizhou and the critical need to eradicate institutionalised prejudices if researchers are to attain gender parity in higher education and beyond. Organisations may create a welcoming space for all workers, regardless of gender, by acknowledging and addressing these inequalities.
