Beyond Pay Transparency: Developing a Responsible Gender Pay Equity Framework for Sustainable and Inclusive Organizations

Author(s) Dr. Mitika Chauhan
Country India
Abstract One of the most enduring types of workplace inequality in both industrialized and developing nations is the gender wage gap, despite decades of organizational and regulatory initiatives. Although pay transparency laws have become a popular tactic for lowering wage gaps, new research indicates that transparency by itself is not enough to eradicate structural injustices stemming from occupational segregation, unconscious bias, a lack of leadership opportunities, caregiving responsibilities, and organizational culture. As a result, there is an increasing demand for an all-encompassing organizational strategy that tackles the structural and behavioral causes of pay fairness in addition to wage disclosure.
In order to explain how organizations can systematically reduce gender-based wage disparities while promoting sustainable and inclusive workplace practices, this paper develops the Responsible Gender Pay Equity Framework, a conceptual model that integrates organizational justice, stakeholder theory, human capital theory, and social role theory. The paradigm suggests five interconnected organizational dimensions: Organizational Accountability, Care Infrastructure and Flexible Work Policies, Transparent Compensation Systems, Inclusive Talent Management, and Ethical Leadership. Together, these factors promote organizational justice, which acts as a mediation mechanism for gender pay parity, employee trust, greater representation of women in leadership roles, improved retention, and long-term organizational success. By establishing pay equity as a strategic organizational capacity and expanding gender pay gap research beyond regulatory compliance, the study adds to the body of previous work. beyond managerial practices that are driven by compliance.
