Abstract

The Problem Managers and other individuals in the workplace may have a bias, either conscious or unconscious, against Black women based on their appearance. Since slavery, Black people with lighter skin complexion and straighter hair have been given preferences and privileges not afforded Black people with darker skin or those with naturally kinky hair. This study brings this subtle form of discrimination to the attention of Human Resource Development professionals and sheds light on how such interactions may affect their learning, development, and performance. The Solution Using a critical Human Resource Development lens, we suggest that managers, organizational leaders, and decision-makers are educated to recognize and address hair bias. Leaders must ensure compliance with the CROWN Act and legislation that prohibits discrimination against natural and protective hairstyles. The Stakeholders Stakeholders include U. S. Human Resource Development professionals, hiring managers, recruiters, and leaders who are concerned with hiring and promoting diverse talent.
工作场所的头发偏见:一个关键的人力资源开发视角
问题经理和工作场所的其他人可能会根据黑人女性的外表对她们产生有意识或无意识的偏见。自奴隶制以来,肤色较浅、头发较直的黑人获得了肤色较深或头发自然卷曲的黑人所没有的偏好和特权。这项研究引起了人力资源开发专业人员的注意,并揭示了这种微妙的歧视形式如何影响他们的学习、发展和表现。解决方案使用关键的人力资源开发视角,我们建议管理者、组织领导者和决策者接受教育,以认识和解决头发偏见。领导人必须确保遵守《皇冠法案》和禁止歧视自然和保护性发型的立法。利益相关者包括美国人力资源开发专业人员、招聘经理、招聘人员和负责招聘和提升多元化人才的领导者。
