“…It is quite possible that managerial diversity policies limit the discretionary decision--making by managers that might lead to biased decisions. It is therefore possible that formal personnel policies, accountability processes for managers, and monitoring of employment patterns to highlight and address disparities-all actions proposed in support of remedying workplace discrimination (Bielby 2000;Reskin 2003;Kalev et al 2006)-do indeed remedy such discrimination. If they do, then an obvious implication is that, if policies that limit managerial discretion are applied to establishments that have not already adopted them, then the same reductions in bias and segregation will be observed.…”

“…Virtually all research into employment discrimination agrees that institutions that enable workers to hold managers accountable for their decisions are among the most effective means to minimize biased behavior. The bureaucratic policies associated with internal labor markets attach paper trails to managers' decisions (Dobbin, Sutton, Meyer, and Scott 1993), publicize them (Huffman 1995), and force managers to justify them both to workers and to their own superiors (Reskin 2003). Kalev et al (2006) make this point forcefully in comparing accountability to other mechanisms: "Programs establishing organizational responsibility are more broadly effective than those that address managerial bias or social isolation among women and African Americans.…”

“…Nämä mekanismit ovat puolestaan kytköksissä sekä rahoitus-, työ-ja asuntomarkkinoilla toimivien organisaatioiden toimintatapoihin (sosiaalisiin käytäntöihin) että yhteiskuntaa jäsentäviin ja pysyviä eriarvoistavia kategorioita tuottaviin rakenteellisiin jakoihin ja kulttuurisiin eroihin. (Tilly 1998;Reskin 2003. ) Kaiken kaikkiaan sosiaaliturvariippuvuus kytkeytyy pikemminkin näihin motivaatiomalleihin ja tapahtumaketjuja yhteen kytkeviin sosiaalisiin mekanismeihin kuin yksilön (ir)rationaalisiin valintoihin tai yleisiin yhteiskunnallisiin periaatteisiin, joita sosiologiassa on käsitteellistetty muun muassa anomian käsitteellä.…”

“…Ein Großteil der Organisation erfolgt durch die Interaktion zwischen Mitarbeiterinnen, zwischen Mitarbeiterinnen und Führungskräften sowie zwischen den Mitgliedern der Organisation und Personen außerhalb der Organisation. Häufig sind Ungleichheiten des Geschlechts, der Rasse und der Klasse in solche Interaktionen eingebettet und sie kommen im Laufe der Interaktion in der Sprache, der Haltung und der impliziten Bewertung zum Ausdruck (Reskin 2003;Ridgeway 1997 Manchmal waren die Bestrebungen zu einer Entgeltgleichheit zu gelangen von Erfolg gekrönt, wenn die kommunalen und staatlichen Besoldungsverfahren verändert wurden, aber die Kampagnen wurden infolge von Gerichtsverfahren eingestellt und auch, weil die Arbeitgeber zunehmend darauf aus waren, die Gehälter zu kürzen, statt sie zu erhöhen (Nelson und Bridges 1999).…”
