Abstract

Examined how the perceptions of 366 ethnically diverse operating-level employees (mean age 34 yrs) on discrimination from a variety of sources, including supervisors, coworkers, and the organization itself, affect their work-related attitudes and behaviors. Participants completed a measure of perceived discrimination. The results show that all 3 types of perceived discrimination had an effect on organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and organizational citizenship behavior. There was no relationship with grievances.
