Isms and schisms: A meta‐analysis of the prejudice‐discrimination relationship across racism, sexism, and ageism
通过元分析比较种族主义、性别歧视和年龄歧视三种偏见与职场歧视(选拔、绩效评估、反对多样性政策)的关系,发现种族主义与歧视相关,性别歧视不相关,年龄歧视与部分歧视相关。
Summary Racism, sexism, and ageism persist in modern day organizations and may translate into workplace discrimination, which can undermine organizational effectiveness. We provide the first meta‐analysis comparing the relationships between these three types of prejudice (racism, sexism, and ageism) and three types of workplace discrimination (selection, performance evaluation, and opposition to diversity‐supportive policies). Across outcomes, racism was associated with workplace discrimination, whereas sexism was not. Ageism was associated with discriminatory selection and opposition to organizational policies supporting older workers; however, ageism was not related to discriminatory performance evaluation. Consistent with prior research and theory, Implicit Association Test measures were related to subtle discrimination (opposition to diversity‐supportive policies) but not deliberate discrimination (selection and performance evaluation). Finally, prejudice was more strongly associated with discrimination against real as compared with hypothetical targets. Implications for organizational researchers and practitioners are discussed.
