Access Decisions by Personnel Directors: Subtle Forms of Sex Bias in Hiring.

Plake, Barbara S.; And Others

Psychology of Women Quarterly, v11 n2 p255-63 Jun 1987

Examined sex bias in hiring by personnel directors. Personnel directors (N=86) rated bogus job applications on their qualifications and likelihood of being considered for the position, expected performance, and expected success in the job. Found higher access ratings were given to the sex-stereotypical applicant when the applicant's credentials matched job demands. (Author/ABL)
