abstract: 'Bringing sociological theory and research to bear on the ``quota
debates{''''} dogging discussion of federal civil rights legislation in
the early 1990s, this article highlights sociology''s role in shaping
employment law and shows how apparently technical legal arguments about
allocating burdens of proof affect labor market resource allocation
among the classes, races, and genders. Contrasting
institutional-sociological with liberal-legal concepts of
discrimination, the article shows why disparate impact theory has been
the most sociological approach to Title VII enforcement. It also shows
how disparate impact-a theory and method for establishing legally
cognizable employment discrimination injurious to women and
minorities-is, and is not, related to affirmative action-a policy
encompassing a broad range of procedures intended to provide positive
consideration to members of groups discriminated against in the past.
Finally, a competing incentive framework is used to show that, although
disparate impact creates some incentives for employers to adopt quota
hiring, such incentives are counter-balanced by major incentives working
against race- and gender-based quotas. Major counterincentives stem from
disparate impact itself, from other aspects of equal employment law, and
from organizational goals shaping business response to the legal
environment.'
