Abstract
The purpose of this study was to review diversity climate and inclusive climate scales and identify their features. By using three key concepts present in the diversity and inclusion climate literature (fairness, uniqueness, and belongingness), 13 measures were analyzed and summarized according to individual, group, leadership, and organizational levels. Both inclusive and diversity climate measures are based on the assumption that individual differences should be perceived, accepted, and valued in organizations. Inclusive climate measures specifically emphasize how much individuals feel a sense of belongingness to their groups or organizations while still feeling free to maintain and express their differences and uniqueness. Measures for diversity climate focus on the ways in which organizations can support diverse employees and how organizations can provide fair and equal opportunities to employees regardless of their differences. Discussion and implications are presented.
期刊介绍:
Human Resource Development Quarterly (HRDQ) is the first scholarly journal focused directly on the evolving field of human resource development (HRD). It provides a central focus for research on human resource development issues as well as the means for disseminating such research. HRDQ recognizes the interdisciplinary nature of the HRD field and brings together relevant research from the related fields, such as economics, education, management, sociology, and psychology. It provides an important link in the application of theory and research to HRD practice. HRDQ publishes scholarly work that addresses the theoretical foundations of HRD, HRD research, and evaluation of HRD interventions and contexts.
