metadata.value: Equity is defined as a correlation between a person’s merits and their remuneration. This article
  deals with social and labor equity, regarding it as a subjective assessment of the ratio
  of wages to employees’ physical and/or intellectual effort. The article aims to determine the
  subjective assessment of academic and teaching staff pay equity. An empirical study of the
  semi-formalized expert research method was carried out with 86 academic and teaching staff
  of four Russian universities. A series of expert interviews was conducted in 2019–2020. For
  the analysis, we relied on material and non-material factors of subjective assessment of wage
  fairness. The results show that half of the informants consider the balance of labor and effort to
  be fair. At the same time, they call their work quite laborious. Remuneration for research and
  teaching staff consists of educational and research activities. The second part is not guaranteed
  and is usually large income from educational activities. This level of fairness of payment is
  influenced by a competent system of incentives for university academic and teaching staff. An
  unfair level of remuneration compels competitive personnel to move to the real sector of the
  economy or academic markets of other countries. For younger (under 30) and non-graduated
  employees, the assessment of wages as unfair is characteristic. These people have a high classroom
  load and supporting roles in scientific projects. In addition to material factors on the
  subjective assessment of equity are non-material factors (free schedule, comfortable working
  conditions, management support, interest in work, involvement in scientific research and selfrealization).
  Intangible factors contribute to the consolidation of academic and teaching staff
  in the academic field. Fairness of pay is influenced by a transparent pay system and trust in
  the employer. The assessment of the fairness of the payment is stable, so it needs to be done
  regularly to prevent the edification of team dissatisfaction.
