Function quantile regression using the Bangladesh Labour Force Survey 2016-17, the paper
estimates the gender wage differential and the impact of intrinsic motivation in the nonprofit
and for-profit sectors. The study finds that nonprofits pay a relatively higher wage to their
employees, supporting the intrinsic motivation-productivity hypothesis. However, the results
cannot conclusively state that nonprofits exhibit a lower gender wage gap in light of this
hypothesis. On the other hand, the gender earnings gap for for-profits is primarily driven by
differences in worker endowments. Male for-profit workers suffer from a substantive wage
penalty compared to the men employed in nonprofits with similar quantified attributes. No such
penalty is found for women. The author also finds evidence of a glass ceiling within the
nonprofits and a sticky-floor within for-profits. | en_US |
