From the Paper:

"This study assumes that gender discrimination is still a concrete problem in the workplace during the 21st century. According to Deborah Kolb and Linda Putnam, there are few legitimate empirical studies that have been adequately conducted regarding men and women related to salary and other financial negotiations. Of the studies that have been conducted, some differences between the treatment of men and women have been identified however. Research specific to salary negotiation has indicated that women in general realize lower returns resulting from salary negation efforts (Kolb & Putnam, 1997)."
