I would expect someone who is less predisposed to negotiate for a higher salary to also switch jobs less frequently, even if they could get higher pay elsewhere.

If you like your colleagues and the work you do, leaving the company for a raise seems more aggressive than first telling your manager that you are unhappy with your pay.

In addition to that, the person being less aggressive about asking for raises in their current job is going to start salary negotiations at their next workplace from a lower number. In aggregate, this is a major source of income inequality.
