These initiatives, aimed at fostering a more inclusive and representative workplace, have sparked considerable debate among practitioners and scholars (Hellerstedt et al., <span>2024</span>; Opoku-Dakwa & Rice, <span>2023</span>; Prasad & Śliwa, <span>2024</span>; Thomason et al., <span>2023</span>). While some scholars are of the belief that DEI is a beneficial necessity for organizations, others have questioned how effective DEI initiatives really are and if they have any real long-term impact. Recently, tensions around these debates have risen and despite research advances, many challenges remain (DiTomaso, <span>2024</span>; Roberson et al., <span>2024</span>; Thomason & Sitzmann, <span>2023</span>). In this point–counterpoint exchange, we present two compelling perspectives on the current state and the future of workplace DEI programs.</p><p>In the first article, “DEI Programs' Emphasis on Symbolism: Causes and Consequences,” Ariel Levi and Yitzhak Fried examine the proliferation of DEI programs through a critical lens. The authors argue that societal pressures have driven organizations to adopt symbolic measures of diversity, such as mission statements and DEI units, which often focus more on appearance than substantive change. This symbolic emphasis, they suggest, results in unintentional adverse outcomes, such as allegations of insincerity and the recurrent establishment of progressively unattainable diversity objectives. The authors also highlight the risks of prioritizing visible diversity (e.g., race, gender) over deeper aspects of diversity (e.g., expertise), potentially undermining the true benefits of a diverse workforce. They champion a more circumspect approach to DEI program development and implementation.</p><p>The counterpoint article, “Despite the Haters: The Immense Promise and Progress of DEI Initiatives” by Christine Nittrouer, David Arena Jr., Elisabeth Silver, Derek Avery, and Mikki Hebl, promotes the positive impact and promise of DEI initiatives. They emphasize the historical roots of DEI initiatives and the significant progress that has been achieved. In the face of pushback and blowback by “the haters,” the authors underscore the empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of DEI programs. They discuss various successful DEI initiatives that focus on both representation and inclusion and highlight the long-term benefits that emerge from such initiatives. By engaging in responsible science and gathering trustworthy data, the authors contend that the long-term benefits of DEI initiatives outweigh the possible short-term risks, presenting a hopeful outlook for the future of organizational diversity efforts.</p><p>The introduction of this counterpoint article begins with a quote by Voltaire that warns against allowing perfectionism to stand in the way of what is good.

We introduce the concept of Safety-Specific Abusive Supervision (SSAS), which we define as the extent to which a supervisor's active response to safety incidents is perceived by employees as abusive. Drawing from event system theory and research on attributions of abusive supervision, we theorize that when supervisors engage in SSAS, employees are more likely to attribute their behavior to performance promotion rather than injury initiation, perceiving the supervisors' actions as a means to keep them safe rather than to cause harm. We predict that performance promotion attributions mediate the relationship between SSAS and safety performance outcomes, namely safety voice and perceived supervisor safety commitment. However, consistent with role congruity theory, we hypothesize that this relationship is only true for male supervisors and not for female supervisors.

Drawing on cognitive appraisal theory, we propose that frequent interruptions simultaneously trigger hindrance and threat appraisals, which are associated with negative affective reactions (daily negative affect), and challenge appraisal promoting progress toward daily goals (daily work goal progress). These reactions subsequently shape attitudes (daily job satisfaction) later in the day. Furthermore, when an individual appraises frequent interruptions as controllable (i.e., secondary appraisal), they are less likely to view them as a hindrance or threat and more likely to view them as a challenge. Daily diary data from two studies show that frequent work interruptions can elicit hindrance, threat, and challenge appraisals, and threat appraisal is found to increase daily negative affect and undermine daily work goal progress and, thus, daily job satisfaction.

However, this literature is fragmented with scholars disagreeing on the conceptualization and measurement of AM, as well as a lack of consensus on the dimensions of AM influencing various gig worker‐related outcomes, the mechanisms through which these influences are exerted, and the relevant boundary conditions. To address these issues, we systematically reviewed the academic literature across scientific disciplines related to the AM of gig workers using natural language processing (NLP)‐based topic modeling. Our analysis yielded 12 topics, which we integrate using an input‐process‐output (IPO) framework to illustrate differing effects of AM on worker‐related outcomes. Based on our findings, we provide a comprehensive definition of AM, including its key dimensions, and highlight main mediating pathways through which the individual dimensions of AM impact various gig worker‐related outcomes.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that voluntary turnover experiences can be painful, yet the role of social pain (as distinct from dissatisfaction) in turnover and subsequent job selection has not yet received much scholarly attention. In Study 1, we re-analyze 13 detailed case histories of employees who had recently quit one organization and entered another. Using a cluster analysis of the terms they used when describing their reasons for leaving and when describing what attracted them to their new roles, we find that experiencing social pain in the prior role affected the things people prioritized when selecting a new role. Furthermore, sentiment analysis revealed that higher social pain was linked with lower positive sentiment (hope, excitement, joy, etc.) during the job search process. Study 2 creates a self-report measure of social pain, and Study 3 quantitatively reaffirms the relationship between social pain and subsequent affect.

Because achieving diversity is often difficult, organizations often emphasize the symbolic aspects of diversity, including mission statements on diversity and the creation of units to promote the organization's DEI reputation. This emphasis on diversity symbolism has led to some unintended and negative consequences. A major consequence is that organizations become vulnerable to the charge that they are engaging in “window dressing.” This charge can lead organizations to respond by setting even more difficult-to-achieve goals. We cite illustrative examples in which stakeholders have called on organizations to actually achieve diversity, prompting a new round of diversity-related goal-setting sometimes accompanied by legally questionable human resource procedures (e.g., preferential hiring). Another negative consequence of diversity symbolism is that it incentivizes a focus on surface rather than deep dimensions of diversity. This displacement of deep by surface level diversity may cause organization to forgo the advantages potentially afforded by the former relative to the latter.

As theorized, the proactive crafters profile emerged as the most desirable, displaying the highest levels of self‐reported work engagement, task performance, and organizational citizenship behavior. This finding underscores that avoidance crafting becomes less detrimental when used alongside approach crafting.
