Abstract
Systemic bias and discrimination have resulted in some groups benefitting from centuries of advantages and other groups being harmed by centuries of disadvantages in our society. As an institution within our imperfect society, Academe is subject to the same systems of privilege and oppression that differentially drive advancement rates among scholars. In this editorial, we focus attention on the microaggressions and discrimination scholars of color experience in Academe in the United States. Specifically, we take a personal narrative approach to explore several common challenges scholars of color face and provide affirmations to these scholars to counteract the negative effects of these challenges. Finally, we call in allies by providing insights about their critical role in dismantling systemic bias and being a reliable source of support to scholars of color.
期刊介绍:
Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes publishes fundamental research in organizational behavior, organizational psychology, and human cognition, judgment, and decision-making. The journal features articles that present original empirical research, theory development, meta-analysis, and methodological advancements relevant to the substantive domains served by the journal. Topics covered by the journal include perception, cognition, judgment, attitudes, emotion, well-being, motivation, choice, and performance. We are interested in articles that investigate these topics as they pertain to individuals, dyads, groups, and other social collectives. For each topic, we place a premium on articles that make fundamental and substantial contributions to understanding psychological processes relevant to human attitudes, cognitions, and behavior in organizations. In order to be considered for publication in OBHDP a manuscript has to include the following: 1.Demonstrate an interesting behavioral/psychological phenomenon 2.Make a significant theoretical and empirical contribution to the existing literature 3.Identify and test the underlying psychological mechanism for the newly discovered behavioral/psychological phenomenon 4.Have practical implications in organizational context
