“…Overall, Social Cognitive Career Theory traces how an individual may be affected by variables, which may ultimately become a support or barrier to employment, while stressing that some of the more relevant influences are the environment and the availability of opportunity (Hudson & Broadnax, 1982). Environmental conditions have the possibility of being a barrier to career development, but at other times may act as a support (Lent et al, 2000).…”

This study seeks to understand how counselors perceive barriers and supports to employment in their clients' lives. For the purposes of this research, a descriptive comparative (causal comparative) design was used. In this study, the two groups compared were rural versus urban counselors. Perceptions of barriers and supports to employment among these two groups (i.e., rural versus urban counselors) were compared. In this sample of counselors, there was not a statistically significant difference between rural versus urban counselors' perceived barriers to employment. Similarly, among this sample, urban and rural counselors seemed to endorse approximately an even amount of perceived supports to employment among their clients. While this research showed no statistically significant difference in counselor perceived barriers and supports to employment among clients, this does not necessarily mean that actual barriers and supports in rural versus urban areas are equal. Rather, this research simply shows that counselors did not report perceiving this to be true. It is important for counselors to be able to understand specific barriers and supports in order to efficaciously work with their clients in their career development.

“…In the 1980s the Federal Government's 40-year commitment to policies and practices that assisted African Americans to compete in the labor market underwent a dramatic reversal. Throughout that decade a clear message was sent out, of White House opposition to race-based policies and protections, particularly the policy of affirmative action (duRivage, 1985;Hudson and Broadnax, 1982). In this article affirmative action refers explicitly to Lyndon Johnson's Executive Order 11246 although it is popularly perceived as any proactive effort to dismantle discrimination in employment and education, including remedy through judicial decisions.…”

Diversity in the Post Affirmative Action Labor Market: A Proxy for Racial Progress?

This article explores how concepts of diversity fit into the problem of racial progress and workplace inequality. Diversity can be viewed functionally as part of an ongoing effort in Corporate America to resolve conflict and reduce racial inequality in job allocation. On the other hand, consistent with new institutional theory, diversity can be viewed as a rubric for a set of activities meant to signal corporate 'good will'. In this case, the role it plays may forestall durable change in corporate cultures; as an organizing concept for human resource development diversity would be a tool that obscures underlying bias against racialized (i.e. black-oriented) private sector employment policies. I suggest that the concept of diversity is purposively fluid in organizations so that its meaning can shift to protect -rather than change -the racial status quo.
