Explaining sexual minorities’ disclosure: The role of trust embedded in organizational practices
基于431名性少数员工的调查数据，研究发现组织包容实践通过员工对组织和主管的信任，影响其是否愿意公开性少数身份，信任起完全中介作用。
This paper reports on an empirical study that demonstrated how organizational inclusion practices and employees’ trust in their organization and supervisors affect their willingness to share personal information that could potentially lead to workplace discrimination. The findings are based on data obtained from 431 sexual- and gender-minority employees using an anonymous online survey. The results reveal that trust in the organization and the supervisor fully mediates the relationship between organizational policies and practices and workplace disclosure. In other words, in organizations where policies and practices generate trust, employees are more willing to disclose their minority identity. Our analysis also reveals how trust in the organization and the supervisor interacts with psychological variables associated with the workplace disclosure decision.
