Antecedents and consequences of speaking Spanish at work
Laura Guerrero et al.
What the paper says
As the population of US Hispanics grows, the use of Spanish at work is likely to increase. This study tested antecedents and consequences of speaking Spanish at work. Speaking Spanish in general was related to speaking Spanish with customers, co-workers and managers. Density of Spanish-speaking customers was related to speaking Spanish with customers and co-workers, but not with managers. We found no support for work-related outcomes, including perceptions of employability, job satisfaction, job performance and intentions to quit. Future research should investigate whether work-related outcomes are more likely to have impact in cities with lower density of Hispanics in the workplace.
