Literature shows that salary expectations correlate positively with actual salary (Major et al. 1984); hence, it may impede gender wage gap. This study analyzes the gender differences in expected salary between two different countries, a western and an eastern country. The data is collected on salary expectations of subjects in Innsbruck, Austria, and in Istanbul, Turkey. The evidence from a questionnaire-based study shows the existence of the gender differences in salary expectations. In line with literature, this study finds that female subjects in Innsbruck expect lower salary than their male counterparts. Surprisingly, female subjects in Istanbul do not expect lower salary, rather they expect higher salaries than their male counterparts. © Peter Lang AG 2019.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGender differencesGender-Pay-GapPay expectationsBook Part1351502-s2.0-85113620371
