Claims of employment discrimination and worker voice
利用美国全国劳动力变化调查数据,研究发现设立员工发言机制的工作场所中种族和性别歧视主张更少,且当主管与员工种族或性别不同时发言机制作用更大。
Abstract Using the U.S. National Study of the Changing Workforce survey, we show that claims of racial and gender discrimination emerge less frequently in workplaces with established worker voice mechanisms. This result accords with the hypothesis that participation enhances perceptions of workplace fairness. We show that while having a supervisor of the same race or gender is associated with reduced discrimination claims, the role of voice tends to be larger when the race or gender of the supervisor is different from that of the worker. This suggests that voice may be particularly important in heterogeneous workplaces.
