Less debated, however, is the nature and role of biases that emerge from theoretical or

LGBTQ Inclusivity and Language in the Workplace
To quote Bill Crawford, “Diversity, or the state of being different, isn’t the same as inclusion. One is a description of what is, while the other describes a style of interaction essential to effective teams and organization.” The workplace should be an environment where people feel safe to focus on getting work done. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Does Increasing Racial Minority Representation Contribute to Overall Organizational Performance? The Role of Organizational Mission and Diversity Climate
One underexplored question in the representative bureaucracy literature is whether public employees advocate for their demographic groups at the expense of other groups or their organizational roles. Many studies have focused on the link between passive representation, or the extent to which the public workforce reflects the demographic characteristics of its clients, and active representation, or the extent to which

Predicting employee attitudes to workplace diversity from personality, values, and cognitive ability
Workplace diversity has become an increasingly important topic for both organizational researchers and practitioners (for reviews, see Ashkanasy, Härtel, & Daus, 2002; Guillaume, Dawson, Woods, Sacramento, & West, 2013; Harrison & Klein, 2007; Jonsen, Maznevski, & Schneider, 2011).
