This study aims to investigate the career paths of Black educators and the role organizational containment plays on their career advancement. Organizational networks allocate a variety of instrumental resources that are critical for job effectiveness and career advancement. Limited access to these networks produces multiple disadvantages, particularly for Black educators.
Specifically, this study examines the relationship of preparation, placement and persistence on job containment for Black educators. Containment is defined as the sum of the continual barriers that members of an organization encounter as they attempt to advance their career paths, particularly as they relate to the pursuit of access to organizational resources critical to job effectiveness and career advancement.
