DESCRIPTION:Emilio Castilla\n\nMIT - Sloan School of Management\n\nThe Unfu
 lfilled Promise of Meritocracy in Organizations\n\nDate: Friday\, November
  22\, 2024\n	Time:10:30 AM -12:00 PM\n	Location: Armstrong 155A\n\nAll are c
 ordially invited to attend.\n\n\nAbstract:\n\nWhat biases and obstacles ge
 t in the way when companies seek to attract\, retain\, and reward the best
 -performing employees? Given the widely popular goals of promoting meritoc
 racy and creating opportunities inside organizations\, I have for the past
  decade conducted research across multiple organizations to investigate th
 e role that merit\, performance evaluations\, and other talent-management 
 practices play in shaping employees’ careers in today’s workplaces. I have
  found evidence of variation in how leaders and managers define merit and 
 consequently make merit-based employment decisions\, depending on the orga
 nizational context they work in as well as the characteristics of the indi
 viduals they screen and evaluate. In fact\, I have shown that meritocratic
  goals\, under certain organizational circumstances\, can introduce biases
  in favor of white men compared to women and racial minorities. In my pres
 entation\, I will discuss the key findings of some of my projects on achie
 ving true meritocracy and excellence in organizations. In so doing\, I wil
 l highlight the practical insights of my research into the areas of employ
 ment\, organizations\, and workplace inequality—a topic that is the focus 
 of a new book I am writing.\n
