Personnel Directors and Female Employment Representation: A New Addition to Models of Equal Employment Opportunity Policy?

In: Social science quarterly, Band 64, Heft 4, S. 734-746

Abstract

Official employment statistics & attitudinal data obtained from personnel directors are used to examine: F employment representation in 20 Tex cities over a 5-year period (1975-1980), factors that might predict such representation, & the independent influence of hiring agents' attitudes on employment outcomes. Several attitudinal characteristics of personnel directors in the cities prove to be related to employment representation, even after controlling for significant community or work force characteristics, thus lending support to research which has assumed that personnel officials are important influences on employment policy. 2 Tables, 45 References.
