A Multivariate Study of Subordinate Perceptions and Attitudes of Minority and Majority Managers.

Abstract

Questionnaire data were collected from 582 subordinate supervisors in 30 merchandising units managed by 6 black males, 11 white females, and 13 white males to investigate manager and subordinate sex group and ethnic group effects on 10 attitudinal and perceptual groupings: satisfaction, leadership, behavioral intentions, job problems, job authority, communication influences, direction of communication, kind of communication, quality of communication, and modality of communication. These effects and subordinate job level differences were investigated after confounding demographic and organizational influences were statistically controlled through multiple regression analyses.
