Abstract

Må en arbejdsgiver, der skal ansætte en medarbejder, tage hensyn til, hvorledes kunderne forventeligt vil reagere på bestemte træk ved medarbejderen? Dvs. må såkaldte ”reaktionskvalifikationer” tælle i en ansættelsesproces? En held-egalitaristisk teori om, hvornår reaktionskvalifikationer er legitime, peger på, at særligt to faktorer er relevante: (i) om kvalifikationen er selvvalgt af personen, og (ii) om kvalifikationen er knyttet til personens dybe præferencer (dvs. præferencer, der afspejler personens overbevisninger og personlighed). Når vi tester denne teori i forhold til intuitionerne i den bredere befolkning, finder vi indikation på, at (i) har en betydning for folks vurderinger af, om det er okay for arbejdsgiveren at lægge vægt på reaktionskvalifikationen i ansættelsesprocessen, hvorimod folk ikke synes at tillægge (ii) en sådan betydning. Det sidste fund giver potentielt anledning til visse revisioner eller tilpasninger af den held-egalitaristiske teori.
