Despite the fact that we were able to explain about 95% of the variance in base pay, gender differences remained. We found that unequal starting pay was a significant factor

First, most researchers have ignored the fact that performance ratings may have not only a direct effect on pay but also an indirect effect through promotions and market adjustments. Second, almost all of the research has been cross-sectional. We studied the relationships between performance ratings and salary raises by using longitudinal data and found that performance ratings correlated more with total pay increases than with merit pay increases. Compared with the average cross-sectional correlation, the use of aggregated data (over time) resulted in a larger performance rating-merit pay increase relationship. In the past 30 years, researchers have examined many issues regarding merit pay programs (Gerhart & Milkovich, 1992; Heneman, 1990). Heneman located 77 empirical studies of merit pay programs that addressed both the factors that determine the size of an employee's pay raise and the outcomes of a raise. Of particular interest was the relationship between performance ratings and pay increases. In almost every study, performance ratings were positively and usually significantly related to pay increases. The size of the relationship, however, generally was modest. In their review of the compensation literature, Gerhart and Milkovich concluded that the relationship between performance ratings and pay raises may "not always be as strong as one might wish, and that within some organizations, may be particularly weak" (pp. 514-515).

However, there was the issue of poor transparency of the whole process, poor dissemination of financial information and unreliable financial information by the banks. These call for a change and hence the introduction of the E-banking system. Thus, this study is an evaluation of the extent to which E-banking has assisted in projecting banks due process compliance, transparency and accuracy in generating financial information. The study made use of survey research design using a structured questionnaire to gather necessary data. The generated data was analyzed using the Binomial test of equal test proportion. The result shows that the E-banking has assisted in projecting transparency in the banking sector. There is also adequacy in the process of generating financial information. The cashles...
