Doctoral Dissertation Research: Differentiating Effects of Particularistic Performance Standards in the Workplace

本研究调查了工作场所的绩效标准如何对包容性造成障碍。具体的重点是广播公司的声音和声音标准如何限制了不同地区广播组织的纳入计划。该项目调查了1)公共广播标准的创建，2)尽管人口变化，这些标准的持久性，以及3)广播公司如何体验这些标准。这项工作将有助于理解机会障碍如何存在于组织中。数据将从相关文件和访谈中收集，如下。将审查国家档案中关于语言使用的备忘录，以确定无线电网络的基本政策和做法。将审查广播机构的理事会文件，以分析包容性努力及其与现有规则的关系。将分析听众的抱怨，以确定听众的需求。最后，100名广播电台播音员将就他们面临的挑战和他们使用的工具接受采访。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This research investigates how performance standards in the workplace create barriers to inclusion. The specific focus is on how sound and voice criteria for broadcasters have constrained plans of inclusion in broadcasting organizations in different regions. The project investigates 1) the creation of public radio broadcast standards, 2) the endurance of these standards despite demographic changes, and 3) how broadcasters experience these standards. This work will contribute to understanding of how obstacles to opportunity can exist in organizations.Data will be collected from relevant documents and interviews, as follows. Memoranda about language usage in national archives will be examined to identify foundational policies and practices for radio networks. Board documents at broadcasting organizations will be examined to analyze inclusion efforts and their relationship to existing rules. Listener complaints will be analyzed to identify audience demands. Lastly, 100 radio broadcasters will be interviewed about challenges they face and tools they use.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
