Career Development and Workforce Experiences of Trans People in Their Workplaces
Rene Ragmett Alvarez
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of South Florida
Existing research concerning trans people is sparse, and even less research exists regarding their career development and workforce experiences. Hence, I explored the career development and workforce experience stories of trans people. I used a conceptual and theoretical framework in this study to inform my general approach to trans scholarship leading to the specific examination of the career development and workforce experiences of trans persons. The conceptual and theoretical framework included Hale's (1997) suggested guidelines for non-trans people writing about trans people, constructivism, social cognitive career theory, and minority stress theory and informed the qualitative vehicle of this study to advance the understanding of the career development and workforce experiences of trans people. The participants constructed career development and workforce stories in their own words employing a meaning-making interpretation of how their lives interplay with social-cultural influences with "respect to the individual storytellers and a regard for the subjective meaning carried within their stories" (Atkinson, 2007, p. 224). I also identified how workplaces support their trans workforce. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
