Stereotypes and Prejudices in HR Industry in Romania
Journal Title: Applied Medical Informatics - Year 2011, Vol 28, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper we aimed to reveal the effects of the crisis in HR area, the stereotypes and prejudices clients have about Romanian HR companies, training programs and trainers and the ideal profile of a trainer. The effects of the crisis in HR are: the stagnation of the number of clients in the company’s portfolio, the decreasing in the number of contracted training, the decreasing of the training prices and project-based contracts with trainers instead of permanent job contracts. We find that two important features a trainer should have are connected with the age of the trainer and personality traits. A good trainer is expected to have an age between 30 and 50 years and a pleasant personality. Most of the correlations obtained between stereotypes and prejudices are positive. Almost all items correlated with the others. Demographic data correlated also with items. Respondent’s education correlates positively with the number of the training classes attended and stereotypes on trainer’s age. The more educated the respondent is, the more likely is to have attended a greater number of trainings and tend to prefer mature trainer to young trainer (under 30 years old). The more mature respondents tend to prefer foreign trainers and mature trainers. Age of the respondent and trainer’s country of provenience and age are positively correlated.
