Abstract

PurposeThe literature on HR metrics does not address the political issues that surround the definition and interpretation of these metrics. However, the need for agreement about HR metrics between different stakeholders is underlined by the framework of the sociology of quantification. This research aims to complement the literature on HR metrics by studying the process of defining and interpreting appropriate HR metrics, focusing on the example of the gender pay gap.Design/methodology/approachA case study with interviews and participant observation is conducted on a French company.FindingsThe results show that HR metrics are essential to prove the existence of inequalities. However, there are disagreements between management, unions and gender equality referents concerning appropriate HR metrics and their use.Originality/valueContrary to the literature on the subject, which remains predominantly positivist and normative, this article sheds light on the political issues surrounding the definition and use of HR metrics and shows the importance of involving a range of actors (managers, unions and employees) in the entire process.

衡量性别薪酬差距:人力资源指标的复杂性
目的关于人力资源指标的文献没有涉及围绕这些指标的定义和解释的政治问题。然而,量化社会学的框架强调了不同利益相关者之间就人力资源指标达成一致的必要性。本研究旨在通过研究定义和解释适当的人力资源指标的过程,以性别薪酬差距为例,对人力资源指标文献进行补充。设计/方法/方法对一家法国公司进行了个案研究,包括访谈和参与者观察。结果表明,HR度量对于证明不等式的存在是至关重要的。然而,管理层、工会和性别平等参考者在适当的人力资源指标及其使用方面存在分歧。原创性/价值与该主题的文献主要是实证和规范性的,本文揭示了围绕人力资源指标的定义和使用的政治问题,并表明了在整个过程中让一系列参与者(经理、工会和员工)参与的重要性。
