Abstract

Although public administration scholars have long been studying discriminative behavior of frontline servants of public service organizations, whether and to what extent Asians and noncitizen immigrants may suffer from frontline discrimination in the United States lacks evidential support. To fill this gap, we conducted a corresponding field experiment in the U.S. nursing home market (N = 6428). Our findings identify substantial discrimination against Asians and noncitizen immigrants. Holding other factors constant, nursing homes with long‐term care services in the United States are less responsive to and less likely to offer services to Asians and noncitizen immigrants, compared to Whites and citizens, respectively. Such discrimination is observed in all public, private for‐profit, and nonprofit nursing homes, whereas private for‐profit nursing homes demonstrated less discrimination. This study has implications for describing frontline discrimination in government‐regulated public service organizations and for scholarly understanding of the mechanism of such discrimination.

没有模范少数族裔的国家：美国养老院市场对亚洲非公民移民歧视的证据

虽然公共管理学者长期以来一直在研究公共服务组织一线工作人员的歧视行为，但亚裔和非公民移民在美国是否以及在多大程度上可能遭受一线歧视缺乏证据支持。为了填补这一空白，我们在美国养老院市场（N = 6428）进行了相应的实地实验。我们的研究发现对亚洲人和非公民移民存在严重歧视。在保持其他因素不变的情况下，与白人和美国公民相比，美国提供长期护理服务的养老院对亚裔和非公民移民的反应较差，也不太可能向他们提供服务。这种歧视在所有的公立、私立营利性和非营利性养老院都可以观察到，而私立营利性养老院表现出较少的歧视。本研究对描述政府监管的公共服务组织中的一线歧视以及对这种歧视机制的学术理解具有启示意义。
