Abstract

Grounded in the Social Identity Model of Collective Actions (SIMCA), this study examines the role of strategic internal communication—specifically, transparent communication—in fostering gender equality at work via women’s workplace activism: collective actions and communicative behaviors. Results from an online survey of 402 female employees in South Korea suggest that transparent communication plays an important role in increasing women’s identification with their organizations, thereby fostering their efficacy and reducing perceived injustice. This, in turn, increased their active communicative behaviors and collective actions for promoting gender equality in the workplace. Theoretical implications for strategic internal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) communication are discussed along with avenues for future research.

通过积极行动实现工作中的性别平等透明的内部交流的作用

本研究以集体行动的社会认同模型（SIMCA）为基础，探讨了战略性内部沟通--特别是透明沟通--在通过女性职场行动主义促进工作中的性别平等方面所起的作用：集体行动和沟通行为。对韩国 402 名女性员工进行的在线调查结果表明，透明沟通在提高女性对组织的认同感方面发挥了重要作用，从而提高了她们的工作效率，减少了她们认为的不公正现象。这反过来又增加了她们在工作场所促进性别平等的积极沟通行为和集体行动。本文讨论了战略性内部多元化、平等与包容（DEI）交流的理论意义以及未来研究的方向。
