Abstract:
Despite a checkered racial history, people in the United States generally believe the nation has made steady, incremental progress toward achieving racial equality. In this article, we investigate whether this U.S. racial progress narrative will extend to how the workforce views the effectiveness of organizational efforts surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion. Across three studies (N = 1,776), we test whether Black and White U.S. workers overestimate organizational racial progress in executive representation. We also examine whether these misperceptions, surrounding organizational progress, drive misunderstandings regarding the relative ineffectiveness of common organizational diversity policies. Overall, we find evidence that U.S. workers largely overestimate organizational racial progress, believe that organizational progress will naturally improve over time, and that these misperceptions of organizational racial progress may drive beliefs in the effectiveness of diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.

摘要:
尽管种族历史参差不齐,美国人普遍认为这个国家已经取得了稳定,逐步实现种族平等。在这篇文章中,我们调查这种美国种族进步叙事是否会延伸到劳动力如何看待围绕多样性的组织努力的有效性,股本,和包容。在三项研究中(N=1,776),我们测试美国黑人和白人工人是否高估了行政代表的组织种族进步。我们还研究了这些误解,围绕组织进步,导致人们对共同组织多样性政策相对无效的误解。总的来说,我们发现证据表明,美国工人在很大程度上高估了组织种族进步,相信随着时间的推移,组织进步自然会有所改善,这些对组织种族进步的误解可能会驱使人们相信多样性的有效性,股本,和包容性政策。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2024APA,保留所有权利)。
