Attitudes Toward Role Conflict and Disciplinary Action: A Comparison of Black and White Supervisors

Summary

An examination was made of the attitudes of 77 white and black supervisors to determine whether there were any differences in (a) the manner in which they viewed role conflict resolution and (b) the administration of discipline. It was concluded that the organizational setting apparently sufficiently socializes individuals in the organization so as to minimize any attitudinal differences that might exist.
