Zusammenfassung:A method for measuring and assessing the construct of institutional discrimination in organizations was applied to an infantry division for a one- year time period. Data was obtained for 25 personnel decision areas. A descriptive statistic known as the Difference Indicator was calculated at division, brigade, and battalion levels. Comparisons are made between organizations and time periods. Difference indicators which are statistically different from zero were obtained for 14 of the areas at the division level. The strength of the system lies in enabling leaders to meaningfully assess and monitor institutional discrimination in their organizations.
