Abstract

A reasonable and fair salary system helps to retain logistics management talents, and the training and retention of management talents contributes to the sustainable development of enterprises. This article takes all A-share listed companies in the transportation, warehousing, and postal industries from 2011 to 2020 as the research object. After controlling the variables of individuals, companies, and years, it is confirmed that there is still a gender pay gap within the senior management team of logistics companies, and the pay of female executives is relatively lower than male, but there is no gender pay gap between CEO positions, indicating that the gap is mainly due to job differences, because there are fewer women in core management positions, and most female executives are only in auxiliary management positions; at the same time; It is found that the higher the proportion of female executives, the smaller the salary gap between male and female executives; a female chairman can help narrow the gender pay gap for executives.
