This study contributes to understanding early-career entry-level women's discrimination by analyzing the drivers of gender discrimination in entry-level jobs in the Malaysian retail sector. It uses vulnerability theory to explain the susceptibility of women and the conditions and perceptions that lead to their discrimination through a cross-lagged study. The study sample consisted of 349 women working in the Malaysian retail industry in Klang Valley. The findings reveal that several factors make women vulnerable in the Malaysian retail sector, including economic compulsion, organizational injustice, stereotyping and perceived social discrimination. Perceptions and practices become stronger over time. However, resilience can moderate vulnerabilities and, therefore, reduce women's discrimination. The significance of this study lies in its ability to understand vulnerability-enhancing discriminators and the utilization of resilience to address them.

Niniejsze badanie przyczynia się do zrozumienia dyskryminacji kobiet na początku kariery zawodowej, analizując przyczyny dyskryminacji ze względu na płeć w początkowych pracach w malezyjskim sektorze detalicznym. Wykorzystuje teorię podatności, aby wyjaśnić podatność kobiet oraz warunki i percepcje, które prowadzą do ich dyskryminacji poprzez badanie cross-lagged. Próba badawcza składała się z 349 kobiet pracujących w malezyjskiej branży detalicznej w Klang Valley. Wyniki pokazują, że kilka czynników sprawia, że kobiety w malezyjskim sektorze handlu detalicznego są narażone, w tym przymus ekonomiczny, niesprawiedliwość organizacyjna, stereotypy i postrzegana dyskryminacja społeczna. Postrzeganie i praktyki stają się z czasem silniejsze. Jednak odporność może łagodzić podatność na zagrożenia, a tym samym zmniejszać dyskryminację kobiet. Znaczenie tego badania polega na jego zdolności do zrozumienia czynników dyskryminujących zwiększających podatność na zagrożenia i wykorzystania odporności do ich rozwiązania.
