基于98个联邦法院案例，总结出8条准则帮助判断美国就业歧视法是否适用于国际雇主，并构建决策树框架，为工业与组织心理学家提供指导。
The question of whether U.S. employment discrimination laws apply to international employers is complex and involves multiple sources of legal authority including U.S. statutes, international treaties, and the laws of non‐American host countries. This article provides detailed and simplifying guidance to assist employers in working through that complexity. Based on an examination of 98 federal courts cases, this article identifies and explains 8 general guidelines for determining when U.S. laws apply to international employers (e.g., U.S. employees working abroad or “foreign” employees working in the United States). These guidelines are incorporated into an organizing framework or “decision tree” that leads employers through the various decisions that must be made to determine whether U.S. discrimination laws apply in a wide range of international employment situations. Guidance for industrial and organizational (I‐O) psychologists who advise international employers is provided and summarized in terms of general recommendations and conclusions.
