title: Unveiling patterns of salary inequity: suggested measurement strategy for health care organizations.
abstract: This paper focuses on how potential race related salary inequity and racial discrimination patterns can be measured in health care organizations. Incorporating ethical principals to the measurement strategy helps conceptualize potential patterns of salary inequity. Convergent validity assessment through triangulation method allows for the measurement of parallelism, correspondence, and the affirmation of major findings. The most important benefit of the suggested strategies is the ability to assess and identify how discrimination may be occurring in organizations.
