Abstract

Making hiring decisions without bias is meaningful for people that have the same ability but different backgrounds to have a fair chance to compete with job opportunities. There were previous studies show there are types of discrimination that exist during the hiring process. This study aimed to investigate the hiring bias in Chinese society, which has a different social hierarchy and culture compared to western studies. In an experiment with 2 × 2, domicile place × university, the between-subjects design was used to study the background and university-based hiring bias in China. The result shows that hiring bias does exist for both the location of domicile places and the ranking of universities of resumes. The future study is expected to apply the experiment to the real HR situation.
