项目摘要

In recent years there has been increasing scrutiny on diversity in the computer and information technology industry. Data on demographics portray an industry that lacks diversity. Even when engineers from underrepresented groups are hired by these companies, they tend to leave. Among people of color 40% of the men and 36% of the women leave due to unfair treatment. The economic cost of this issue is enormous. The cost to replace these workers is over $16 billion annually. Lack of diversity also results in lost productivity and innovation. Improving the diversity of the technology industry workforce requires a welcoming and inclusive workplace. In this project we are seeking to understand the experiences of Black engineers. The narratives developed from interviews with these workers are being used to illustrate the unique problems faced by Black engineers. Through conversations with industry leaders we are identifying approaches to make the workplace more welcoming to all.This study involves interviews with 40 engineers in the technology industry. The goal of these interviews is to understand workplace climate. Interviews focus on the experiences they have had with their co-workers, supervisors, and customers. The data are being analyzed using narrative analysis, through the lens of three frameworks: Faulkner's in/authenticity, Helms and Piper's pairing of racial identity theory and vocational psychology, and Kendi's history of racist ideas. The result is individual narrative case studies for each person. Cross-case comparison identifies commonalities and differences in workplace culture, impact of social identity, and perceptions of inclusivity. Through conference sessions, we are creating a community of researchers focused on diversity and inclusion in the engineering workplace. Additionally, we are sharing findings and implications directly with industry leaders.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

近年来，对计算机和信息技术行业的多样性的审查越来越大。人口统计数据的数据描绘了一个缺乏多样性的行业。即使这些公司雇用了代表性不足的团体的工程师，他们也倾向于离开。在有色人种中，有40％的男性和36％的妇女由于不公平的治疗而离开。这个问题的经济成本是巨大的。替换这些工人的费用每年超过160亿美元。缺乏多样性也会导致生产力和创新失去。改善技术行业劳动力的多样性需要一个热情而包容的工作场所。在这个项目中，我们正在寻求了解黑人工程师的经验。通过对这些工人的访谈而发展的叙述正在用来说明黑人工程师面临的独特问题。通过与行业领导者的对话，我们正在确定使工作场所更受欢迎的方法。这项研究涉及对技术行业中40位工程师的访谈。这些访谈的目的是了解工作场所的气氛。访谈的重点是他们与同事，主管和客户的经历。通过叙事分析，通过三个框架的镜头来分析数据：福克纳在/真实性，赫尔姆斯和派珀的种族认同理论和职业心理学的配对，以及肯迪的种族主义思想历史。结果是每个人的个人叙事案例研究。跨案例比较确定了工作场所文化的共同点和差异，社会认同的影响以及对包容性的看法。通过会议，我们正在建立一个专注于多样性和包括工程工作场所的研究人员社区。此外，我们正在与行业领导者直接分享发现和影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评论标准来评估值得支持的。
