Abstract

Sexual minorities continue to face workplace discrimination, which leads to them experiencing concerns about disclosing their own sexual identities. Despite the benefits of disclosure, relatively little research has examined what organizational factors can work together to foster disclosure of a sexual minority identity. Across five experiments (N = 1662), we examined two main factors: diversity ideologies and information about diversity climate. Sexual minorities were more willing to disclose in organizations with diversity messages conveying that they value group differences (an identity-conscious ideology) relative to those that downplay differences (an identity-blind ideology). Identity-conscious ideologies also increased belonging, perceptions of fair treatment and perceptions of LGBTQ+ representation. Despite expectations that contradictory evidence demonstrating a negative diversity climate might create mistrust and impede disclosure, the benefits of an identity-conscious ideology persisted in the face of a negative diversity climate. These findings point to the complexities of facilitating visible sexual minority representation in many workplace environments.

隐藏或揭示:具有身份意识的多样性意识形态有助于性少数群体身份的披露
性少数群体继续面临工作场所的歧视,这导致他们对披露自己的性身份感到担忧。尽管公开身份有很多好处,但相对而言,很少有研究探讨哪些组织因素可以共同促进性少数群体身份的公开。在五个实验中(N = 1662),我们研究了两个主要因素:多元化意识形态和多元化氛围信息。相对于那些淡化差异的组织(盲目认同的意识形态),在那些传递着重视群体差异的多元化信息的组织中,性少数群体更愿意公开自己的身份。有身份意识的意识形态还能提高归属感、公平待遇感和 LGBTQ+ 代表性感。尽管人们预期,显示负面多样性氛围的矛盾证据可能会造成不信任并阻碍信息披露,但面对负面的多样性氛围,具有身份意识的意识形态的益处依然存在。这些研究结果表明,在许多工作场所环境中,促进可见的性少数群体代表性是非常复杂的。
