摘要

本研究采用实验性小插图设计,调查了犯罪记录对加纳 221 名人力资源(HR)经理雇用决策的影响。人力资源经理被随机分配阅读四个小故事中的一个,故事描述了不同性别和犯罪记录的求职者:有犯罪记录和无犯罪记录的男性,有犯罪记录和无犯罪记录的女性。证据显示,有犯罪记录的女性罪犯的就业机会会减少,而男性罪犯的就业机会则不会减少。此外,如果人力资源经理希望其他经理雇用前科犯,那么无论求职者是否有犯罪记录,他们都愿意为其提供面试机会。本文讨论了这些研究结果的意义。

Criminal record and employability in Ghana: A vignette experimental study

Using an experimental vignette design, the study investigates the effects of criminal records on the hiring decisions of a convenience sample of 221 human resource (HR) managers in Ghana. The HR managers were randomly assigned to read one of four vignettes depicting job seekers of different genders and criminal records: male with and without criminal record, female with and without criminal record. The evidence shows that a criminal record reduces employment opportunities for female offenders but not for their male counterparts. Additionally, HR managers are willing to offer interviews to job applicants, irrespective of their criminal records, if they expect other managers to hire ex-convicts. The implications of these findings are discussed.
