Teachers' equity sensitivity to the single-spine salary: the case of teachers in central and wsetern regions of Ghana

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine how sensitive teachers were about the single spine salary. it surveyed 129 basic school teachers from Central and Western Regions with the Equity Sensitivity Instrument. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the resulting data. It was found that teachers were mainly equity sensitive just demanding what is fairly due them. This indicates that it is recommendable for the fair Wages and Salaries Commission to be fairer in the fixing of teachers single spine salaries or teachers might result to reducing their input to measure up to such discontented salary level.
