Equal Employment Opportunity Progress in Private Sector Workplaces since 1966

《民权法案》通过四十多年后，平等的就业机会仍然是一个难以实现的目标。通过分析美国平等就业机会委员会自1966年以来收集的500多万份机构级小组观察报告，我们建议开发必要的方法工具，以探索美国工作场所种族和性别平等就业机会的动态。这些数据的丰富性和复杂性要求我们首先研究未解决的但通常重要的分析问题，以建模与长期面板数据相关的动态结果与多个非分层聚类。从本质上讲，我们研究了可能是美国历史上促进组织变革的最大规模的监管尝试，假设在联邦监管努力的历史变化背景下，这种变化是由公司、行业和当地劳动力市场动态驱动的。这个项目的更广泛影响是为在民主社会中促进平等就业机会的规章和管理实践提供信息。我们将补充现有和当前的研究，研究具体的组织政策和结构对平等就业机会变化的影响，通过产生实质性的知识，了解自1964年《民权法案》以来，哪些监管、政治和制度背景影响了平等机会的变化，并暗示哪些可能在未来产生影响。

Donald Tomaskovic-DeveyUniversity of Massachusetts AmherstMore than forty years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act equal opportunity in employment remains an elusive goal. Analyzing more than five million establishment-level panel observations collected by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission since 1966, we propose to develop the necessary methodological tools to explore the dynamics of race and gender equal employment opportunity in U.S. workplaces. The richness and complexity of these data require us to first investigate unresolved but generally important analytic problems for modeling dynamic outcomes associated with long term panel data with multiple non-hierarchical clustering. Substantively, we examine what is probably the largest scale regulatory attempt to foster organizational change in U.S. history, hypothesizing that such change has been driven by firm, industry, and local labor market dynamics within the historically shifting context of federal regulatory efforts. The broader impact of this project is to inform regulatory and managerial practice in fostering equal employment opportunity in a democratic society. We will complement existing and current research examining the effects of specific organizational policies and structures on EEO change by producing substantive knowledge as to which regulatory, political, and institutional contexts have influenced equal opportunity change since the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and by implication, those which are likely to be influential in the future.
