Abstract
Purpose – Diversity management is gaining attention in the organisations. This study theorizes and tests a model linking efforts to support diversity and organizational value of diversity with job satisfaction and organizational identification and proposes that these relationships are mediated by an organization’s diversity climate. Design/methodology/approach – Employee survey was used to collect data from employees at an Australian manufacturing organisation. Structural equation modelling in AMOS was performed for the proposed model, controlling for age and gender. Findings – The mediating role of diversity climate in the relationship of organizational value of diversity and outcomes (job satisfaction and organizational identification) is significant. We discuss theoretical, research, and practical contributions. Originality – The present study extends the literature by testing a mediation model derived from signaling theory and social exchange theory. Keywords: Diversity climate, efforts to support diversity, organizational value of diversity, job satisfaction, organizational identification
