Being part of diversity: The effects of an all-inclusive multicultural diversity approach on majority members’ perceived inclusion and support for organizational diversity efforts

Wiebren Jansen; Sabine Otten; Karen I. van der Zee

In two experiments we tested how explicitly including the cultural majority group in an organization’s diversity approach (all-inclusive multiculturalism) affects the extent to which majority members feel included in the organization and support organizational diversity efforts. In Study 1 we focused on prospective employees. We found that an all-inclusive diversity approach, compared with the “standard” multicultural approach in which the majority group is not explicitly made part of organizational diversity, led to higher levels of anticipated inclusion for those with a high need to belong. In Study 2 we turned to sitting organizational members. Here, we again found that an all-inclusive multicultural approach increased perceptions of inclusion, but now the effect was present regardless of individual levels of need to belong. Perceived inclusion, in turn, was positively related to majority members’ support for organizational diversity efforts. Together, these findings underline the effectiveness of an all-inclusive multicultural approach towards diversity.

Being different at work: How gender dissimilarity relates to social inclusion and absenteeism

Wiebren Jansen; Sabine Otten; Karen van Oudenhoven-van der Zee

We investigated how and when gender dissimilarity relates to two highly important individual work outcomes: social inclusion and absenteeism. We collected survey data among 397 employees from a university of applied sciences and combined these with data from the organization’s personnel administration. Our results indicate that dissimilarity was negatively related to perceived work group inclusion. In addition, this negative effect was stronger when the group was perceived to have a negative diversity climate. Finally, there was a conditional indirect effect of gender dissimilarity on absenteeism through inclusion. That is, being different from other group members in terms of gender was associated with higher absenteeism through lower levels of perceived inclusion, but only when the group was perceived to have a negative diversity climate. Together, the present research demonstrates that sometimes being different is associated with more absences and underlines the importance of establishing a positive climate for gender diversity.

Social inclusion in diverse work settings

Wiebren Jansen

Het ervaren van sociale inclusie op het werk is essentieel voor het welbevinden en presteren van werknemers. Echter, terwijl inclusie relatief gemakkelijk te bewerkstelligen is wanneer collega’s demografisch gezien op elkaar lijken, is dit moeilijker wanneer collegas sterk van elkaar verschillen. Dit proefschrift tracht een begrip te creeren van hoe inclusie in demografisch diverse werkomgevingen bewerkstelligd kan worden. Hiertoe is allereerst vastgesteld wat inclusie precies is en hoe dit gemeten zou kunnen worden. Specifiek is inclusie gedefinieerd als de mate waarin een individu waarneemt een geaccepteerd groepslid te zijn dat in staat wordt gesteld om zichzelf te kunnen zijn binnen de groep. Daarnaast wordt onthuld hoe diversiteitsbenaderingen - de visie van organisaties ten aanzien van diversiteitsmanagement – de mate waarin meerderheids- en minderheidsleden inclusie ervaren beinvloedt. In het bijzonder geven de resultaten aan dat de mate waarin een organisatie openstaat voor verschillen tussen medewerkers vooral van belang is voor minderheidsleden. In tegenstelling blijkt een kleurenblinde benadering van diversiteit, oftewel het negeren van verschillen tussen medewerkers, het meest effectief te zijn voor meerderheidsleden. Tenslotte tonen de resultaten aan dat meerderheidsleden meer inclusie ervaren en positiever staan ten opzichte van diversiteitsinitiatieven wanneer zij expliciet benoemd worden in het diversiteitsbeleid van een organisatie. Tezamen levert dit proefschrift een substantieel beter begrip op van hoe inclusie in diverse werkomgevingen bewerkstelligd kan worden en vormt het een startpunt voor verder onderzoek naar en management van inclusie in een diversifierende wereld.
