Research from Davenport University led by Murad Ali reveals that Muslims are the least likely to be hired among various ethnic groups. The study involved students from MBA and business undergraduate courses who worked in roles from entry level to senior executive positions. Notably, many MBA students were managers with hiring powers.Participants ranked potential job candidates based on preconceived notions from 1 (most desirable) to 5 (least desirable). All candidates had equal qualifications and were male, differing only by name: Robert Schwalbach (White), Tyrone Johnson (Black), Yan Chin (Asian), Pedro Gonzalez (Hispanic), and Ahmed Al-Arabi (Muslim).
The preferences showed African Americans ranked highest, followed by Caucasians, Asians, Hispanics, and then Muslims. African Americans were most likely to be invited for interviews, while Muslims were least favored. The data grouped African Americans, Caucasians, and Asians together, followed by Hispanics and Muslims.
Interestingly, those considered "mainstream," or well-established in the country, shared similar rankings. In contrast, newer immigrant groups, such as Hispanics and Muslims, were deemed less desirable by employers. This suggests that perceptions of desirability may contribute to challenges like poverty, unemployment, and lack of healthcare for these groups.
Employers should be aware of these findings, as they impact adherence to the Civil Rights Act. As Muslims become more mindful of their workplace rights, there may be an increase in legal actions. Allowing personal biases to influence hiring decisions could negatively affect a company's performance.
Employers are encouraged to ensure fairness and equal opportunity in hiring, focusing on qualifications rather than personal biases to uphold both ethical standards and legal compliance.
