Employers generally believe they are being as fair as possible by rating
employees’ performance annually and basing their bonuses on those ratings.
But a recent study by a professor at MIT’s Sloan School of Management shows
that might not always be the case.
In the study “Gender, Race and Meritocracy in Organizational Careers,”
professor Emilio Castilla found that despite being in the same job with the same
supervisor and receiving the same performance ratings, white men often received
higher bonuses than minorities.
The study, which examined 9,000 exempt and nonexempt nonmanagement employees
at a U.S. company with a workforce of 20,000, compared white male and minority
employees who were in the same job and work unit. They also had the same
supervisor and experience and education levels.
