Abstract
In order to fully comprehend the dynamics underlying workplace inequality, this address contends that we must take into account not just the effects of inequality based on money and power, but also the implications of status—inequality based on inequalities in regard and respect. Status is a micro incentive for conduct that is just as important as power and wealth. Healthcare staff members who identify as members of racial or ethnic minorities are disproportionately subjected to workplace discrimination from co-workers, patients, and managers. Their underrepresentation at senior levels and overrepresentation in disciplinary processes are evident manifestations of this, which is linked to several adversities including increased levels of depression, anxiety, somatic complaints, low job satisfaction, and absenteeism.
