This study investigated the effects of stereotypes among individuals working in selected South African organisations. The participants were 336 employees within the following sectors: banking (n = 40), higher education institutions (n = 72), mining (n = 63), municipalities (n = 24), nursing (n = 4), police services (n = 20), schools (n = 85), and the restaurant industry (n = 28). Data were collected using open ended interviews, and thematically analysed. The findings indicated that stereotypes influence individuals on three different levels: cognitive, behavioural, and emotional levels. Predominantly, participants reported that they mostly react in a cognitive manner when confronted with stereotypes
