Fairness in Pay and Technology: How Pay Dynamics Influence the Perception of Technology

This exploratory study examines the relationship between pay dynamics perceptions and workplace acceptance of new technology, focusing on pay equity, satisfaction, and communication. Using a time-lag survey design with 396 full-time employees across U.S. businesses, the study highlights the significant impact of pay-related attitudes on the perceived ease and utility of new technologies. Findings suggest that pay fairness and clear communication strengthen perceptions of technological utility and ease of use. Implications emphasize adopting better pay practices to foster technology acceptance in organizational contexts.
