De ideale sollicitant is een vrouw. Onderzoek naar sekseverschillen in het (personeels)selectieproces

Samenvatting

Three types of research methods used to explore sex differences in the screening of job applicants are shown to differ in how they acknowledge disparate impact & hidden discrimination. The research of A. E. M. van Vianen (Het Selectie-interview. Over de Rol van Seksestereotypen [Selection Interviews. The Role of Sex Stereotyping], Leiden, 1987) is critiqued. Results of a study on the relationship between sex-role stereotypes & requisite management characteristics show that the "ideal candidate is a woman." It is concluded that attention must be paid not only to the stereotyping of characteristics, but also to the extent these characteristics are relevant for selection in the particular company. 7 Tables, 17 References.
