Abstract

Employers may favor applicants who played college sports if athletics participation contributes to leadership, conscientiousness, discipline, and other traits that are desirable for labor-market productivity. We conduct a resume audit to estimate the causal effect of listing collegiate athletics on employer callbacks and test for subgroup effects by ethnicity, gender, and sport type. We applied to more than 450 jobs on a large, well-known job board. For each job listing, we submitted two fictitious resumes, one of which was randomly assigned to include collegiate varsity athletics. Overall, listing a college sport does not produce a statistically significant change in the likelihood of receiving a callback or interview request. We find no statistically significant differences within ethnicities or genders.

大学体育运动在劳动力市场中的价值:来自简历审计现场实验的结果

如果参加体育运动有助于领导力、责任心、纪律性和其他劳动力市场生产力所需的特质，雇主可能会青睐参加过大学体育运动的申请人。我们进行了一项简历审计，以估计将大学体育列入雇主召回名单的因果影响，并按种族、性别和运动类型测试亚组效应。我们在一个知名的大型招聘委员会申请了450多个职位。对于每一份工作清单，我们都提交了两份虚构的简历，其中一份被随机分配到大学田径队。总的来说，列出一项大学体育项目并不会对收到回拨或面试请求的可能性产生统计上的显著变化。我们发现种族或性别之间没有统计学上的显著差异。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
