%T When People Would Rather Switch Than Fight: Out-Group Favoritism Among Temporary Employees %A Hippel, Courtney D. von %J Group Processes & Intergroup Relations %N 4 %P 533-546 %V 9 %D 2006 %K out-group favoritism; social identity theory; temporary employees; workplace; %= 2011-03-01T05:48:00Z %~ http://www.peerproject.eu/ %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-228037 %X This article relies on social identity theory to examine the intergroup attitudes held by temporary and permanent employees toward each other. Because temporary employees represent a low-status group with permeable boundaries, temporary employees were expected to show an out-group bias in favor of permanent employees. Survey data from 161 temporary and permanent employees revealed this predicted out-group favoritism on the part of the temporary employees on both implicit and explicit measures of intergroup bias. In contrast, the high-status, permanent employee group displayed typical in-group favoritism on both measures. Implications of these results for workplace relations are discussed. %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
