Perceived pay equity is an important factor influencing nurses’ work engagement, job stability, and turnover intention. Higher perceived pay equity is associated with greater work engagement and lower turnover intention. This review summarizes the conceptualization, measurement instruments, and current status of perceived pay equity among nurses and examines its influencing factors and potential implications for practice. The findings may inform the development of rational and equitable compensation systems in healthcare institutions, thereby promoting nursing workforce stability and improving the quality of nursing services.
