Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The situation suggests the presence of a glass ceiling, which is an invisible barrier that prevents women and minorities from advancing to higher-level positions in organizations. The fact that Li is facing more obstacles compared to Watson, who is a male, suggests that gender bias may be at play. Goldbricking refers to employees who avoid work or underperform, a self-serving bias is a cognitive bias that leads individuals to perceive themselves in a positive light, and stereotyping refers to assumptions made about individuals based on group membership. None of these concepts accurately explain the situation described.
