Perceived Discrimination, Work Attitudes, and Labor Market Experience Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1980 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Discrimination; Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Employment; Labor Force Participation; Labor Market Outcomes; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Wages; Work Attitudes The study examines the process by which labor market discrimination influences work attitudes and in turn labor market outcomes. Using the NLS of Young Men, a two equation model is developed to estimate both the direct effect and perceived discrimination on labor market experience as well as the indirect effect on such experience via the influence of these perceptions on work attitudes (locus of control). The results suggest no direct effects of perceived discrimination on wages, employment levels or employment stability. Young blacks who perceived themselves as victims of racial discrimination, however, developed significantly more deleterious work attitudes and as a result earned slightly (3%) lower wages. |

The Influence of Labor Market Discrimination on Locus of Control Journal of Vocational Behavior 21,1 (August 1982): 60-70. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0001879182900537 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Academic Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Discrimination, Job; Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control); Schooling; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Work History Prior research has established the existence of racial differences in locus of control as well as a relationship between labor market experience and locus of control. This study extends this line of inquiry by examining the relationship between labor market discrimination and subsequent change in locus of control. Drawing on a national probability sample (N = 2857) of young men, multiple regression analysis was used to estimate the effect of labor market discrimination (over a 2-year period) on subsequent locus of control. The results indicate that perceptions of employment discrimination influence the level of externality among blacks, over and above racial identification. Blacks who view themselves as victims of employment discrimination experience twice the increase in externality as blacks reporting no awareness of discrimination. |
