description The study focused and examined the perception of both local and expatriates managers within the Malaysian Oil and Gas industry on pay equity and the perceived influence of several variables in salary determination within heir current organizations. Based on Jaques (1967) study on pay equity, the perception was tackled rom four aspects - the individual comparison, the economic comparison and the nternal and external work content comparison. From this exploratory research, it was found that more than 50% of the respondents had strong negative perception towards pay equity.
