Sammendrag
Throughout the years there have been several studies on the prominent issue of racial discrimination in the hiring process. Our contribution to this issue is a lab experiment conducted on the Campuses of HVL and BI. We wanted to see if potential future leaders hold a racial bias. On the basis of this, we conducted our experiment on university students enrolled in some type of leadership bachelor’s. The results from this study show that there is no existing racial bias among university students, neither a difference between private and governmental institutions nor a difference between first- and third year students. However, our analysis did display a significant difference in the gender of the applicant which was chosen. Pakistani men were chosen far less than the opposing female applicants.
