Interracial Women, Career Management, Career DevelopmentAbstract
In recent years, the participation of black women in the labor market has increased, however little is known about the supportive relationships between these women and white women. In view of this, this study aimed to verify the working relationship focused on the expectations and perceptions of self-declared white and black women in the workplace regarding career advancement by black women. For this, we conducted a quantitative with white and black Brazilian women. The result points out that black women believe that white women should support her more in career assistance behavior, while white women believe that she does enough for black women and still in the view of white women they understand that black women should try harder to advance in their career. The results contribute to the discussion on careers and intersectionality by analyzing the combined effect of gender and ethnicity, but in a gender intra-group perspective and provides an opportunity for an analysis on the construction and support of these women's career development.
