【管理辭典】脆弱決策點 / Vulnerable Decision Points


「釋義」
脆弱決策點是指特定的情況加上個人的內(nèi)心狀態(tài),增加了偏見影響紀律決策的可能性。
「應用場景」
解決這些差異的關(guān)鍵,可能來自意料之外的一個來源:關(guān)于學校紀律中種族偏見的社會科學研究。我在俄勒岡大學的同事花了數(shù)年時間,研究學校日常較小的決策產(chǎn)生的長期差距,他們稱之為脆弱決策點(vulnerable decision points)。他們的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),相比白人學生,學校領(lǐng)導更容易因主觀違規(guī)行為(如不尊重)而非客觀違規(guī)行為(如打架),懲戒黑人學生。因此,雖然打架可能是更嚴重的事件,但實際上是因為更頻繁、較低級別的事件中不平等的積累導致了學校紀律方面的重大種族差異。
The key to addressing these disparities may be from an unlikely source: social science research on racial bias in school discipline. My colleagues at the University of Oregon, who have spent years studying the small, everyday decisions that produce disparities over time — what they call vulnerable decision points — in schools, found that school leaders tend to discipline black students more than white students for subjective infractions (e.g. disrespect) than objective ones (e.g. fighting). Thus, while fighting may be the more serious event, it is actually the accumulation of disparities in the more frequent, and lower-level incidents that lead to major racial disparities in school discipline.
