The present study generalizes previous pay dispersion research to the Chinese context by examining the cross-level relationship between workgroup salary dispersion and employee turnover intention contingent on individual differences.

Furthermore, the results of mediated moderation analyses suggest that a dual-deprivation path model can explain the above relationships. We discuss the theoretical, cultural, and practical implications of these findings for organizations
