According to Fusion, a new study suggests that if bosses want to increase productivity among their workers, they should start by paying everyone equally. Economists from Columbia and Berkeley conducted 14 experiments at set of factories in India to study the effects of pay disparities on worker productivity.
Fusion（融合）平台称，一项新研究表明如果老板想要提高员工的工作效率，那么他们首先要做的就是公平地支付员工工资。哥伦比亚和伯克利的经济学家在印度的一批工厂中做了14次试验，为了研究工资差异对工作效率所产生的影响。
They found that the amount workers get paid relative to co-workers has a huge impact on how productive a worker is at work. Essentially, once workers found out they made less than a co-worker for doing the same work, the productivity of the lower-paid worker decreased substantially. This has implications for workplaces that engage in gender-based pay inequity, the most common form being women paid less than men for doing the same work.
他们发现员工与同事之间的工资收入差异对其工作效率有极大影响。一般而言，一旦员工发现他们的收入比工作内容相同的同事要少，那么他们的工作效率就会大大下降。这对那些因性别差异导致收入不平等的公司有所启示，最常见的情况是工作内容相同的女性收入比男性要低。
