最近的研究发现，非裔美国经理和高管行使更高级别和与报酬相关的工作职能的机会相对较少，如工作权威、工作自主性和工作的实质性复杂性。这项研究的大部分内容都集中在美国主流企业少数族裔获得工作权力的问题上。作者专注于一个非常具体的行业--国家橄榄球联盟(NFL)--来考察少数族裔获得工作权力的情况。本研究利用2000-2006赛季美国国家橄榄球联盟所有在职教练的数据，考察了种族对美国国家橄榄球联盟工作权威获得的影响。Logistic回归分析表明，种族对(A)被分配到教练中心位置，(B)被任命为进攻或防守协调人，以及(C)被聘为主教练，扣除包括经验、领导力和表现在内的衡量的客观资质，具有显著的直接影响。因此，种族似乎对获得NFL管理权有直接和间接的影响。
Recent studies have found that African American managers and executives tend to have relatively few opportunities to exercise higher order and reward-relevant job functions such as job authority, job autonomy, and substantive complexity of work. Most of this research has focused on minority access to job authority in mainstream corporate America. The authors focus on a very specific industry—the National Football League (NFL)—to examine minority access to job authority. Using data collected on all active coaches in the NFL between the 2000 and 2006 seasons, this study examines the influence of race on the attainment of job authority in the NFL. Logistic regression analyses reveal significant direct effects of race on being (a) assigned to coach central positions, (b) appointed as offensive or defensive coordinators, and (c) hired as head coaches, net of measured objective qualifications, including experience, leadership, and performance. Thus, race appears to have both direct and indirect effects on access to managerial authority in the NFL.
