N2 - We examine how managers within firms respond to external pressures for gender equity, with a focus on women's pay in technology firms. We argue that the extent to which managers respond to gender equity pressures will depend on their subordinates' gender dissimilarity from the workgroup. Specifically, we theorize that women who are more dissimilar from their workgroups will receive higher pay. We further theorize that this positive effect will be stronger for women in technical roles and is driven by managers' impression management concerns and perceptions of women's work-related capabilities. Using a multi-method approach, we find support for our hypotheses.
