Are we drifting toward a segregated workplace?
研究一家私有商业银行中白人与黑人雇员被分配到同种族主管的现象,发现这种事实上的隔离源于“同类相吸”的互动,而非管理层的歧视意图。
The article reports on a study by Joel Lefkowitz concerning de facto segregation and job placement at a privately-owned commercial bank. A pattern of congruent racial assignments--where white and black employees were assigned to supervisors who were of their race--was found while examining the validity of employment testing. However, the bank management had no intention to discriminate. Lefkowitz concluded that the de facto segregation was the result of a likes-attracting-likes interaction, which he called “ethnic drift.”
