Peer reviewedHelms, Janet E.; Piper, Ralph E. – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1994
Although racial identity theory has the potential to explain some aspects of career development, its value would be increased by conceptualizing race as a dependent variable in research and theory. Examples involving career salience, satisfaction, and satisfactoriness demonstrate the limitations of racial comparison studies. (SK)

Peer reviewedHolder, Judith C.; Vaux, Alan – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1998
A survey of 112 African-American professionals in predominantly White workplaces found that work- and race-related stressors independently influenced job satisfaction. Internal locus of control and collegial/supervisory support lessened stress. Nonwork social support did not buffer effects of race-related stressors. (SK)
