Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the relationship between psychological diversity climate (PDC) and organizational identification (OID) when influenced by racial dissimilarity between the subordinate and supervisor. Design/methodology/approach Ordinary least squares hierarchical regression analysis was run for hypotheses testing. Findings Three of the four hypothesized relationships were supported. Support was found for the direct relationship between PDC and OID. The moderator race was significant thus also supported. The moderator of dissimilarity was not supported. Finally the three-way interaction with race and dissimilarity was supported. Practical implications OID is an important variable for overall organizational success. OID influences a wealth of organizationally relevant outcomes including turnover intentions. Considering higher turnover exists for minority employees, understanding how diversity climate perceptions vary by employee race and therefore impact OID differently, helps managers when making decisions about various initiatives. Originality/value This study is the first the authors know of to investigate the impact of dissimilarity on the PDC-OID relationship.

The Relationship

PurposeResearch on diversity climate has shown that diversity climate as an employee's perception of an organization's diversity-related practices or procedures has a positive impact on reducing turnover intentions. However, we know little about which intervening mechanism explains the relationship between diversity climate and employee's turnover intentions. In this study, we suggest that individual employee's perceived diversity climate influences turnover intentions through personal diversity value and affective commitment.Design/methodology/approachWith a sample of 901 employees in more than 50 companies affiliated in South Korea, the authors test the hypothesized relationship, using structural equation modeling (SEM).FindingsOur findings show that personal diversity value and affective commitment sequentially mediate the relationship between perceived diversity climate and turnover intentions.Research limitations/implicationsThis study can enhance the understanding about the mediating mechanism linking the relationship between perceived diversity climate and turnover intentions and how personal diversity value and affective commitment link the relationship.Originality/valueThe authors theorize and find that perceived diversity climate can influence personal diversity value that results in employee commitment and turnover intentions.

Positive Climate

The hospitality workforce is the most diverse in the United States. Given this fact, a growing body of research has sought to investigate the effects of employee perceptions of their organization’s climate regarding diversity, also known as psychological diversity climate. However, little is still known about whether and how diversity climate perceptions might affect hospitality employees’ intentions to leave their organizations. Adopting a Conservation of Resources Theory perspective, we argue that diversity climate represents an important resource that employees wish to preserve by continuing employment with their organizations, thus increasing employee organizational embeddedness and decreasing turnover intention. Organizational embeddedness captures why employees stay and represents a totality of forces that serve to keep an employee with his or her current organization. These forces are driven by employees’ possession or pursuit of resources derived through employment with their current organization. Drawing on samples of frontline restaurant employees (Study 1) and restaurant managers (Study 2), we found evidence that psychological diversity climate is positively associated with organizational embeddedness. However, the relationship between psychological diversity climate and turnover intentions was mediated only by the sacrifice dimension of organizational embeddedness. Our results point to the importance of developing a positive climate for diversity as a means to retain employees and also shed light on how the dimensions of organizational embeddedness can have differential effects on turnover intentions.

Abstract. The current study analyzes how two components of perceived organizational communication (vertical and horizontal) are related to employee turnover intentions via three types of affective commitment foci (organization, supervisor, and team). Using second-order confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling techniques with a large cross-sectional dataset ( n = 3,317), our results show that, in line with social cohesion theory, vertical communication (e.g., supportiveness from the organization) is strongly related to affective organizational commitment, whereas horizontal communication (e.g., supportiveness from colleagues) is primarily related to affective team commitment. Additionally, both communication dimensions are related to affective supervisory commitment. Finally, these three foci of affective commitment incrementally explain and differentially mediate the relationship between perceived organizational communication and turnover intention.
