A recent survey has revealed that employers in Norway are more likely to hire other Norwegians, even when foreigners have better qualifications.
The news comes via University of Bergen researcher Jøri Gytre Horverak, whose study of more than 400 employers in Norway revealed that immigrant workers are less likely to be hired unless they have heavily integrated into Norwegian culture.
Horverak came to the results by presenting employers with two to three candidates, at least one of which was Turkish while the remaining candidates were native Norwegian.
Horverak told reporters from the NRK news agency, “Leaders who scored low on prejudice and high on emotional stability and flexibility were more inclined to hire the Turkish candidate,” The Foreigner.no reports.
However, she added, “Most of the managers in our study reported a very low proportion of foreign workers in their own department. It is also possible that they were not really trained to work closely with foreign workers.”
Horverak went on to say that she suspected that many of the managers prefer Norwegians due to an inability to relate to foreigners and a lack of experience in working alongside immigrants.
As a Norwegian, I approve. Indigenous people should indeed get preferential treatment in their own homeland. Turks who are unhappy with that, should consider seeking employment in Turkey or the US instead.
beautiful country…want to keep it that way. thats my take on it.sure wish I lived there. absolutely stunning place.but instead Im here living with diversity and all it’s symptoms.
Rational argument next time please. Without knowing the specifics of the survey, I can think of loads of good reasons to employ Norwegians rather than non-integrated Turks when in Norway (just as I can think of loads of reasons to employ Turks over non-integrated Norwegians in Turkey).
RACIST ATTITUDE NO WONDER THEY HAVE A HIGH RATE OF SUICIDE .WAKE UP THIS IS THE NEW CENTURY STAY AT HOME WITH YOUR OWN FOLKS WON’T HELP
