Passage Two

文章2

A new study finds that job seekers are even willing to explore jobs with lower salaries when companies are more diverse.

一项新的研究发现，求职者甚至愿意探索薪资较低的工作，当公司更加多元化时。

It finds that sharing information about diversity makes job postings more attractive to job seekers, even when pay is lower.

研究发现，分享有关多样性的信息使得职位发布对求职者更具吸引力，即使薪资较低。

To conduct the study, the team partnered with an online job listings platform which emails postings relevant to individuals and their job search criteria.

为了进行这项研究，研究团队与一个在线职位发布平台合作，该平台会向个人及其求职标准相关的职位发布发送邮件。

For the course of the 11-week study, the platform emailed job listings to some180,000 users placed in one of two conditions.

在为期11周的研究过程中，该平台向大约180,000名用户发送了职位发布邮件，这些用户被分配到两种条件之一。

In the baseline condition, participants saw emails in the normal format, with no information on diversity; in the diversity condition, participants saw a diversity score for each listing: information about the race, gender, education, and language skills of a company's workforce compared to others in the same sector and location.

在基线条件下，参与者看到的是正常格式的电子邮件，没有关于多样性的信息；在多样性条件下，参与者看到每个列表的多样性得分：关于公司劳动力的种族、性别、教育和语言技能的信息，与同一行业和地点的其他公司相比。

Information was then gathered on whether the email was opened, and which job listings were clicked on by each user.

然后收集了关于电子邮件是否被打开的信息，以及每个用户点击了哪些职位列表。

Participants in the diversity condition tended to click on job listings from companies with slightly higher diversity scores than those in the baseline condition: that is, participants seemed to be paying attention to information about diversity, and using this when deciding whether to click on the listing.

多样性条件下的参与者倾向于点击那些多样性得分略高于基线条件的公司的职位列表：也就是说，参与者似乎在关注关于多样性的信息，并在决定是否点击列表时使用这些信息。

And the team also found that participants were willing to look at listings with lower salaries if they came from companies with a higher diversity score.

研究团队还发现，如果职位来自多样性得分较高的公司，参与者愿意查看那些薪水较低的职位列表。
