The study sought to establish the effect of age, gender, job level and race on attitudes
towards affirmative action. A research was conducted in a government organisation in
the security cluster in one of the provinces in South Africa. Findings indicated that men
and women’s disposition towards affirmative action was positive. Employees at
different job levels and varying age groups were also positive towards affirmative
action in general. There were significantly lower numbers of white participants and
those on senior management levels such that this cannot be objectively reported. The
generally positive regard employees have towards affirmative action is good for the
organisation if it wants to build a cohesive culture that is non sexist and does not
discriminate on the basis of job level and age. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / (M. Com. (Industrial and Organisational Psychology))
