However, the notion that bias still threatens equitable hiring outcomes in modern employment contexts continues to be debated, even among organizational scholars. In this study, we sought to contextualize this debate by estimating the practical impact of bias on real-world hiring outcomes (a) across a wide range of hiring scenarios and (b) in the presence of diversity-oriented staffing practices. Toward this end, we conducted a targeted meta-analysis of recent hiring experiments that manipulated both candidate gender and qualifications to couch our investigation within ongoing debates surrounding the impact of small amounts of bias in otherwise meritocratic hiring contexts. Consistent with prior research, we found evidence of small gender bias effects (d = −0.30) and large qualification effects (d = 1.61) on hiring managers’ evaluations of candidate hireability. We then used these values to inform the starting parameters of a large-scale computer simulation designed to model conventional processes by which candidates are recruited, evaluated, and selected for open positions. Collectively, our simulation findings empirically substantiate assertions that even seemingly trivial amounts of subgroup bias can produce practically significant rates of hiring discrimination and productivity loss. Furthermore, we found contextual factors can alter but cannot obviate the consequences of biased evaluations, UR - https://doi.org/10.1177/0149206320982654 U2 - a U4 - 160503580672 ID - 160503580672 ER - TY - RPRT T1 - Using a Q Matrix to Assess Students' Latent Skills in an Online Course Y1 - 2018 A1 - Hsieh,Ping-Hung A1 - Chang,Xiaohui A1 - Olstad,Andrew KW - Business Analytics KW - Supply Chain UR - https://ecampus.oregonstate.edu/research/publications/white-papers/ U2 - d U4 - 162722347008 ID - 162722347008 ER - TY - HEAR T1 - Early Detection of Placement for Success in an Online Quantitative Class Y1 - 2016 A1 - Hsieh,Ping-Hung A1 - Chang,Xiaohui A1 - Olstad,Andrew KW - Business Analytics KW - Supply Chain JA - Joint Statistical Meetings CY - Chicago, IL U2 - c U4 - 144709447680 ID - 144709447680 ER - TY - HEAR T1 - Impact of Pharmacy Student Involvement in Medical Reconciliation on Samaritan Health Services Outpatient Clinics Y1 - 2015 A1 - Nguyen,Thi A1 - Fahey,Colin A1 - Olstad,Stacey A1 - Olstad,Andrew KW - Business Analytics JA - ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting CY - New Orleans, LA U2 - c U4 - 127219013632 ID - 127219013632 ER - TY - HEAR T1 - Involvement of Pharmacy in Admission and Discharge Medication Review to Improve Patient Outcomes in an Inpatient Setting Y1 - 2015 A1 - Fahey,Colin A1 - Nguyen,Thi A1 - Olstad,Stacey A1 - Olstad,Andrew KW - Business Analytics JA - ASHP Midyear Clinical Meeting CY - New Orleans, LA U2 - c U4 - 127219144704 ID - 127219144704 ER - TY - HEAR T1 - Comparing Item Nonresponse and Responses Across Modes in General Population Surveys.
