Previous research based on analyses of aggregate national trends in occupational segregation suggests that sex and race/ethnic employment segregation has declined in the United States since the 1960s. We add to the existing knowledge base by documenting for the first time male-female, black-white, and Hispanic-white segregation trends using private sector workplace data. The general pattern is that segregation declined for all three categorical comparisons between 1966 and 1980, but after 1980 only sex segregation continued to decline markedly. We estimate regression-based decompositions in the time trends for workplace desegregation to determine whether the observed changes represent change in segregation behavior at the level of workplaces or merely changes in the sectoral and regional distribution of workplaces with stable industrial or local labor market practices. These decompositions suggest that, in addition to desegregation caused by changes in the composition of the population of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission monitored private sector firms, there has been real workplace-level desegregation since 1964.}, number={4}, journal={AMERICAN SOCIOLOGICAL REVIEW}, author={Tomaskovic-Devey, Donald and Zimmer, Catherine and Stainback, Kevin and Robinson, Corre and Taylor, Tiffany and McTague, Tricia}, year={2006}, month={Aug}, pages={565–588} } @article{robinson_taylor_tomaskovic-devey_zimmer_irvin_2005, title={Studying race or ethnic and sex segregation at the establishment level - Methodological issues and substantive opportunities using EEO-1 reports}, volume={32}, ISSN={["1552-8464"]}, DOI={10.1177/0730888404272008}, abstractNote={ Scholars of employment segregation now recognize that gender, race, and class processes are mutually constitutive. Coupled with new data-collection strategies, understanding of the organization of work and distribution of inequality will improve. The authors explore the strengths and weaknesses of longitudinal establishment data collected by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), comparing these to other data used to study workplace status processes. Findings both confirm and dispute well-known occupation-based analyses of workplace segregation and lead to similar substantive conclusions. EEOC data are useful for discovering trends in segregation, for locating segregation in spatial, temporal, and industrial contexts, and for combining with organizational data to uncover mechanisms. }, number={1}, journal={WORK AND OCCUPATIONS}, author={Robinson, CL and Taylor, T and Tomaskovic-Devey, D and Zimmer, C and Irvin, MW}, year={2005}, month={Feb}, pages={5–38} } @article{noordin_williams_zimmer_2002, title={Career commitment in collectivist and individualist cultures: a comparative study}, volume={13}, ISSN={["1466-4399"]}, DOI={10.1080/09585190110092785}, abstractNote={A comparative study of Malaysian and Australian managers used the Carson and Bedeian multidimensional career commitment measure and the individualism-collectivism scale developed by Singelis et al . (1995) in a survey to test the hypothesis that career commitment is likely to be higher in individualistic than in collectivistic cultures. Malaysian managers were more collectivistic but also more vertically individualistic than Australian managers, and the two groups differed only in their levels of career resilience commitment and were not significantly different in career identity and career planning commitment. These results may reflect a shift from collectivism towards individualism with Malaysia's economic development, but collectivism may also be adapting to economic development and social change and the findings add weight to recent criticism of accepted conceptualizations of cultures.}, number={1}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT}, author={Noordin, F and Williams, T and Zimmer, C}, year={2002}, month={Feb}, pages={35–54} } @article{almarsdottir_zimmer_1998, title={Children's knowledge about medicines}, volume={5}, ISSN={["0907-5682"]}, DOI={10.1177/0907568298005003003}, abstractNote={ A model explaining children's knowledge about medicines and the perceived benefit of medicines was constructed and estimated. The children's health belief model, cognitive development and social cognitive development theories, combined with previous multimethod study results form the basis of the path analytic model analyzed. Children, aged 7 and 10 years, and their primary caregivers were interviewed during 1992 and 1993. Recruiting was done at summer camps in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and environs, resulting in a convenience sample of 101 children, all white and middle class. Oridnary least squares regression was carried out in steps for the two model equations. Knowledge of medicines was most adequately explained, having age, educational environment and the degree of internal locus of control as significant positive predictors. The only significant predictor of the perceived benefit of medicines was the negative effect of the internal locus of control, supporting results from former studies. Children's retention of drug advertising had no significant effects in the model. The results from this moderately sized study suggest promising directions for further development of explanations of why children believe in the benefit of medicines. }, number={3}, journal={CHILDHOOD-A GLOBAL JOURNAL OF CHILD RESEARCH}, author={Almarsdottir, AB and Zimmer, C}, year={1998}, month={Aug}, pages={265–281} } @misc{zimmer_1998, title={Dirty business: Exploring corporate misconduct, analysis, and cases, by M.
