The purpose of this grounded theory study was to gain a better understanding of whether the tenets of resiliency and self-efficacy played a role in the professional success of African American adults. The study was completed using the grounded theory approach and the results were based strictly on the participants' words and experiences. The sample consisted of 15 professional African American adults. All of the participants lived and worked in North Carolina. The results of the study indicated that African Americans employed tenets of resiliency and self-efficacy to experience success in the workplace. The results also indicated the participants relied on resiliency and collective self-efficacy to cope with personal transitions. The overall theme stated that African American professionals needed networking opportunities to become successful. Based on the results, a model was developed indicating the need for assertiveness training, networking, mentoring, and accessing community supports to help African Americans become successful professionally and personally. Recommendations included researching processes that take place during mentoring, how to find mentors, and whether the quality of work and life improve with mentoring. Another recommendation was to apply the proposed model to determine whether helping African Americans build resiliency and self-efficacy skills assisted them personally and professionally. The final recommendation was to repeat the research to determine whether African Americans had different levels of resilience and self-efficacy based on their geographic location between the Northern United States and the Southern United States of America.
