      ab: A study was conducted to identify specific career-impeding supervisory behaviors and to determine whether there was a relationship between ethnicity or gender and the likelihood that an employee would experience these behaviors. Data were drawn from the survey responses of a sample of employees in three departments in the New Jersey state government. Results indicate that African-Americans experienced career-impeding supervisory behaviors more than European-Americans but that gender difference was not significant. Furthermore, the more that employees reported encountering career-impeding supervisory behaviors, the lower the employees' job satisfaction. In addition, European-Americans were more satisfied with their jobs than African-Americans, but gender difference was again insignificant.
