Abstract: This research analyzes the decision of pay level of starting workers in the information and telecommunication field using individual factors on the personal characteristics and institutional factors on the enterprise characteristics. The difference in the pay level among the starting workers in the IT area is the result of a complex combination of enterprise specific factors (enterprise scale, enterprise location, occupation type, employment type, enterprise type) and individual factors (major and job suitability, age, gender and ending from day or night school). However, these factors are largely unrelated to one’s productivity and do not explain individual productivity which suggests that wages in the IT area are not reasonably determined. Particularly, non-engineering majors and night school graduates, information system operators and repair workers, employees of domestic private companies, workers in the Seoul and Gyeonggido area, workers employed at a company with <99 people face discrimination in their pay and an integrated pay system necessarily needs to be established to address the problem.
