Abstract

This study examined the effect of ethnic discrimination on promotion practices along with moderating role of upward influence. Data was collected from Pushtoon managerial and non-managerial employees working in public sector universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Using convenient sampling technique, 300 self-administered close ended questionnaires were distributed in public sector universities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
