Laterality and other factors affecting wages in PR agencies
Borovská, Radka ; Houdek, Petr (advisor) ; Brožová, Dagmar (referee)
Left-handed persons are expected to earn less as a penalty for their unstandard hand orientation. However, it was discovered, that the reality is opposite (Denny, O'Sullivan 2007). This thesis examines on a sample of employees of PR agencies in the Czech republic success of left-handed persons in work according to their wage, frequency of promotions and working position. There was no correlation with laterality observed. Another tested part is their alcohol consumption and frequency of their visits in pubs, which should positively influence their wages, if their consumption is moderate (Peters, Stringham 2006). However, it was discovered, that wages are influenced by sex, but not by laterality, even alcohol consumption does not influence wages. Smoking influence amount of wages in a negative way (Levine et al. 1997) and is more common between left-handed persons (Ernest Harburg, Anna Feldstein, James Papsdorf 1978). There is a relationship between laterality and smoking, but there is no effect of smoking on wages at all.
