  • Note: Probabilities are obtained by first estimating the cumulative hazard function for white employees with white managers, and then adjusting the hazard function by the appropriate coefficients from Table 3, Columns 1b, 2b, and 3b to obtain the probabilities for the other groups. Because exits due to competing risks are treated as censored, these figures represent net or “cause-deleted” probabilities (for example, the probability of quitting in the absence of other types of exit risk).
