This article examines the organizational correlates of earnings inequa
lity using data from the National Organizations Study. The authors con
ceptualize earnings inequality within organizations as comprising two
distinct components: within- and between-occupations earnings dispersi
on. The authors test three sets of hypotheses about the determinants o
f organizational earnings inequality. These are related to (a) an orga
nization's context, (b) the organization's structure, and (c) the comp
osition of the organization's labor force. The authors find that large
r and more differentiated organizations are associated with greater in
equality, but only within managerial occupations. Organizations with f
irm internal labor markets have less inequality between occupations. A
nd, gender heterogeneity enhances inequality between as well as within
occupations.
