Question for org behavior / business / sociology folks:

What is good writing on the phenomenon of how org additions (new hires, new units, new programs) create internal stakeholders and affect top level decisions moving forward as a result?

Evidence for an interesting new distinction between pay justice and pay satisfaction:

“For example, pay from a part-time job may be just because the input-output ratio is balanced, but pay satisfaction may nevertheless be low because the job does not allow lifestyle desires (e.g., a nicer car, more expensive vacations) to be achieved.”

SES, Inclusion, and Mental Health:

Really interesting new survey of UK Higher Education staff finds that staff from lower socioeconomic status backgrounds feel relatively less valued and included by policymakers (e.g., government), and this has a negative effect on their mental health and well-being.

Overwork Pays Off More for Men:

New research finds an “overwork premium” - Evaluators allocate greater organizational rewards to people who work 50+ hrs per week ("overworkers"), *even when they do the same amount and quality of work as standard workers.*

In addition, male overworkers reap a significantly larger overwork premium than female overworkers.
