通过分析最高法院对Johnson案的判决，揭示平权行动实施不当如何掩盖管理偏见，对组织人事实践具有警示意义。
Executive Overview The Supreme Court decision in Johnson v. Transp. Agency, Santa Clara Cty., Cal.1 provides an instructive example of the pitfalls of a poorly implemented affirmative action program. The suit was brought by a white male who charged that he was more qualified but was denied a promotion solely due to his sex; a claim of reverse discrimination was supported in a federal district court on precedent. Subsequent appeals led to a Supreme Court decision important to organizational personnel and administrative practices.
