As an example, when employees change jobs, they re-evaluate their pay and are more likely to change their pay satisfaction, not necessarily because they get a raise, but because of the social aspect of pay.

And even workers who earn a lot have high levels of family-work conflict because they also perceive inequality among colleagues.

Professor Kramer said: 'If employees perceive work as a sacrifice they have to make, then the work environment itself is not ideal.'

He believes employers should understand the sacrifices their workers make and offer different work arrangements and policies to compensate.

最新研究显示，加薪给人带来的满足感非常短暂，不久就一切如旧了。员工加薪后，会重新评估自己的状态，不久就又开始和同事比较薪酬了。

但研究人员也表示，对自己薪酬满意的员工能更好地平衡工作与家庭的关系。

科学家表示，在决定员工的幸福感方面，员工真实的薪酬和员工对薪酬的满意度同样重要。

伊利诺伊大学的阿密特-克雷默教授说：“可能和你想的一样，薪酬是个相对的事物。”

“能满足你生活需要的一定水平的薪酬很重要。我想大多数人会认同这一点。但除了这一标准外，相对薪酬就显得很重要了，还有对薪酬或薪酬满意度的感知。”
