Discrimination in Teacher Employment: A Case Study of Change

Discrimination in Teacher Employment: A Case Study of Change Many assume that job discrimination is a manifestation of employer chauvinism. This article considers how discrimination can result from employer efforts to maintain flexibility of control in staffing policies. It then recounts the social, demographic and industrial factors which led one State education authority to change a regulation which discriminated against female employees. The article concludes by observing some of the consequences of this change in situations of teacher undersupply and oversupply. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australian Journal of Education SAGE

Abstract

Many assume that job discrimination is a manifestation of employer chauvinism. This article considers how discrimination can result from employer efforts to maintain flexibility of control in staffing policies. It then recounts the social, demographic and industrial factors which led one State education authority to change a regulation which discriminated against female employees. The article concludes by observing some of the consequences of this change in situations of teacher undersupply and oversupply.
