Human Resource Dependence and Organizational Demography: A Study of Minority Employment in Private Sector Companies
研究了154家私营企业的人力资源依赖程度如何解释黑人员工在非管理、管理和高层管理岗位中的代表性，发现对前两类岗位有解释力但对高层管理岗位无效。
This study examines the extent to which firms’ human resource dependence explains the representation of Black employees in nonmanagement, management, and top-management jobs. Human resource dependence is a firm-level construct describing the degree to which an organization has difficulty procuring and maintaining supplies of human resources. Indicators of human resource dependence in 154 private sector firms explained the representation of Black employees in nonmanagement and management-level jobs but did not predict Black employee representation in top-management jobs. The results provide new insights into characteristics of firms that shape the demographic makeup of the workplace.
