Trust Differences Between Blacks And Whites In An Organizational Setting, Dow Scott

School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works

As increased numbers of blacks enter jobs from which they were formerly excluded, concerns about whether they can perform the work and interact successfully with peers, subordinates, and superiors have been expressed. This study examines a large organization that has been racially mixed through top management for over ten years. The author identifies and examines trust differences between black and white exempt employees (supervisors, managers and professionals) toward superiors, peers, and top management.
