Black-White Differences in Psychological Climate and Organizationally Related Attitudes Aboard Navy Ships.
Abstract
Numerous studies have indicated that black sailors have attitudes, satisfaction levels, and reenlistment proportions different from their white counterparts. In understanding such differences, some attention must be paid to differences in work situation faced by blacks and whites. Analyses of data from 3139 enlisted men from 20 deployed ships indicated that the black sailor was more likely than the white sailor to be found in deck and supply divisions and less likely to be found in sophisticated weapons divisions. In order to answer questions about differences in the ways black and white sailors respond to similar situations, the sample was reduced to sailors from divisions with blacks.
