Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The scenario suggests the presence of a glass ceiling in Li's organization, which is a barrier that prevents minority groups or women from advancing to higher positions despite having adequate qualifications and skills. It seems that Li is being held back due to his ethnicity or nationality, while his American-born colleague is promoted to a higher position, indicating the presence of bias or discrimination. Goldbricking and forced retention refer to other job-related issues and do not apply in this context. A self-serving bias occurs when individuals attribute their successes to internal factors and failures to external factors, which is not relevant in this scenario.
