Variation in people's ideological preference for the maintenance of inequality between social groups (i.e., social dominance orientation; SDO) predicts important sociopolitical outcomes, such as endorsement of different social policies, institutions, and belief systems. We argue that SDO may also inform people's engagement with work organizations. Specifically, we propose that SDO may impact attraction to different organizational structures. Across 6 experiments (N = 3034), we find that people with relatively egalitarian values are less attracted to organizations with much (vs. little) managerial hierarchy; this gap in attraction is attenuated for relative anti-egalitarians (Studies 1a-b). These effects are not moderated by whether dominant vs. subordinate group members occupy positions of power in hierarchical arrangements (Study 2a-b) and are driven by signals concerning likelihood of organizational belonging that egalitarians (vs. anti-egalitarians) derive from managerial hierarchy (Studies 3a-b). We discuss implications for social dominance theory and research connecting ideology to organizational attraction.

等级制度是文化和归属感的标志：探索为什么平等主义意识形态会预测对等级组织的厌恶


人们为维持社会群体之间的不平等而采取的意识形态偏好的变化（即，社会支配取向;SDO） 预测重要的社会政治结果，例如对不同社会政策、制度和信仰体系的认可。我们认为 SDO 还可以为人们与工作组织的互动提供信息。具体来说，我们建议 SDO 可能会影响对不同组织结构的吸引力。在 6 个实验 （N = 3034） 中，我们发现具有相对平等主义价值观的人不太被管理等级制度多（而不是少）的组织所吸引;对于相对反平等主义者来说，这种吸引力差距被削弱了（研究 1a-b）。这些影响不受主导群体成员与从属群体成员是否在等级制度中占据权力地位的调节（研究 2a-b），而是由平等主义者（相对于反平等主义者）从管理等级制度中得出的有关组织归属可能性的信号驱动的（研究 3a-b）。我们讨论了对社会支配理论和研究将意识形态与组织吸引力联系起来的意义。
