The purpose of this study was to examine organizational treatment discrimination (i.e., when members of a group receive fewer rewards, opportunities, or resources than they legitimately deserve based on job-related criteria) in the context of women's athletics. Data were collected from 170 assistant coaches of women's teams (i.e., women's basketball, softball, track, volleyball, soccer, and tennis). Results indicate that women's perceived work experiences and outcomes were comparable, and sometimes better, than those of men. We present competing explanations for this finding. First, it is possible that these women were not subjected to treatment discrimination. Alternatively, it is possible that this demonstrates the existence of the "paradox of the contented working woman." Additional analyses indicate that work experiences explained a large portion of the variance in organizational commitment and turnover intentions, thereby demonstrating their importance in the workplace.
本研究的目的是在女子体育的背景下考察组织待遇歧视（即当一个群体的成员基于与工作相关的标准获得的奖励、机会或资源少于他们理应得到的）。数据收集自170名女子运动队助理教练（即女子篮球、垒球、田径、排球、足球和网球项目）。结果表明，女性感知到的工作经历和成果与男性相当，有时甚至更好。我们对这一发现提出了相互竞争的解释。首先，这些女性有可能没有受到待遇歧视。或者，这有可能表明存在“满足的职业女性悖论”。进一步的分析表明，工作经历在很大程度上解释了组织承诺和离职意向的差异，从而证明了它们在工作场所的重要性。
