Women, on average, earn less than men for the same work. This (sigh) isn’t news. But there are times when women do make more than their male counterparts. According to a forthcoming paper in the Academy of Management Journal, women perceived as high-potential — in other words, those “who have the abilities needed to reach the upper echelons of organizations” — receive a pay premium. But according to Lisa Leslie, an associate professor at NYU’s Stern School of Business, and her coauthors (Colleen Manchester of the University of Minnesota and Patricia Dahm of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo), this is only the case for a select few women — and it’s more likely if they work for a company with overarching diversity goals.
