Race and Sex Differences in Line Managers' Reactions to Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Interventions
通过调查242名直线管理者对26项与平等就业机会和肯定性行动相关的人力资源管理实践的态度，发现不同人口群体态度存在差异，但整体呈中性到积极。
Previous authors have used laboratory experiments and public opinion surveys to examine attitudes toward equal employment opportunity and affirmative action (EEO/AA) programs. This study adds a level of specificity to this research by examining attitudes toward the actual human resource management (HRM) practices comprising organizational EEO/AA programs. EEO/AA-related HRM practices were identified in in-depth interviews. Line managers in four organizaions (n = 242) responded to a survey asking them to express their attitudes toward 26 EEO/AA-related HRM practices and to indicate their level of organizational commitment and perceived career opportunities with the company. Findings indicated that although demographic groups differed in their attitudes, all demographic groups expressed neutral to positive attitudes toward EEO/AA-related HRM practices.
