| Summary: | This research programme examined the factors that affect the
career progression of Black managers in the United Kingdom.
The research comprised two distinct but related studies. The first
study was a qualitative investigation of the factors affecting the
career progression of Black managers (n = 64).
The main finding from the first study was that for some the
achievement of high salaries and senior positions may be at the
expense of one's positive Black racial identity attitudes and wellbeing.
The second study was a quantitative examination of aspects
revealed as important correlates of career success in study 1.
Two hundred and sixty-one respondents (97 Black and 163 White
respondents) across all major industry sectors participated. The
results of the second study confirmed that Black managers were
more disadvantaged than their White peers. The proposition that
for some Black managers a "sell out" effect occurs was supported. |
