This study addressed the problem of African American women and their experiences of implicit bias in the workplace impacting their motivation and their ability to receive equal remuneration. Women of African descent have been subjected to biases both implicit and explicit since the 17th centure and their arrival in the United States. This qualitative narrative research study provided an understanding of the perceived experience of implicit bias by African American women in their workplaces having an impact on their remuneration and motivation. The sample included 25 African American women between the ages of 20-65 working in a corporate setting for at least for 1 year and making less than 1 million dollars per year. The conceptual framework used was the theory of implicit social cognition which states a person acts in a certain manner in social settings because of unconscious mental patterns influenced by the attitudes, stereotypes, self-esteem, and their own past experiences in other similar social settings. The research questions that guided this research were, what is the experience of African American women with implicit bias and equal remuneration in the workplace, and what is the experience of African American women with implicit bias and their motivation in the workplace. Participants' individual stories were explored with a narrative inquiry design using 17 semi-structured openended questions. Data were collected from recorded individual zoom or telephone interviews and analyzed using NVivo software to identify themes. Findings showed that participants perceived they experienced implicit bias in their workplaces and that their ability to received equal remuneration and their motivation levels were negatively impacted. Recommendations include in-depth trainings within workplaces for the identification of individual cultural biases, giving employees a fair and equal chance for promotion and remuneration, company awareness of implicit and explicit bias towards minorities, and African American women in specific. Future research should focus on specific age groups of women to increase transferability.
