The aim of this article is to analyze discrimination at the workplace in the EU. Data used in the analysis comes from the European Working Conditions Survey. Since we assume that discrimination is a latent and discrete phenomenon, in order to classify respondents the latent class analysis is employed. The analysis performed enables to define six distinct groups of employees according to the feeling of being discriminated at the workplace. The general findings are as follows: we recognize types of discriminatory practices that are present in the labour market, we show which discriminatory practices coexist there, we discover that some types of discriminatory practices in the presence of others become more important and some become less important.

Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie wyników analiz mających na celu sprawdzenie, jakie praktyki dyskryminacyjne występują na europejskim rynku pracy. Przyjęto, że zjawisko dyskryminacji ma charakter nieostry, ukryty i dyskretny. Z tego względu do klasyfikacji respondentów zastosowano analizę klas ukrytych, a do analizy wpływu czynników kontekstowych na fakt bycia dyskryminowanym w miejscu pracy – hierarchiczny model logistyczny. Wyróżniono sześć grup pracowników różniących się ze względu na odczucia doświadczania praktyk dyskryminacyjnych. Wskazano, które praktyki dyskryminacyjne występują na europejskim rynku pracy oraz które z nich współwystępują. Ponadto pokazano, że percepcja doświadczania praktyk dyskryminacyjnych zmienia się w zależności od tego, jakich praktyk doświadcza pracownik. (abstrakt oryginalny)
