Comparable worth has been called the civil rights issue of the 1980s. Nursing is in the forefront of this movement. Although several governmental agencies are implementing salary programs based on comparable worth, establishing such a program in the hospital setting could yield problems for nurse executives. Implementation could be costly and demand a significant investment of resources. This paper discusses how wages are determined in a competitive market and what happens to that process when restrictions and barriers make the market noncompetitive. Of most importance, alternative strategies for increasing nursing salaries are presented.
可比价值被称为20世纪80年代的民权问题。护理行业处于这一运动的前沿。尽管一些政府机构正在实施基于可比价值的薪资计划，但在医院环境中建立这样一个计划可能会给护士管理人员带来问题。实施成本可能很高，需要大量资源投入。本文讨论了在竞争市场中工资是如何确定的，以及当限制和壁垒使市场缺乏竞争性时，这一过程会发生什么。最重要的是，还提出了提高护士薪资的替代策略。
