LGBT WORKPLACE INEQUALITY IN THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE: INTERSECTIONAL PROCESSES, ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXTS, AND TURNOVER CONSIDERATIONS
How do lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) employees fare in US workplaces? Beyond formal discrimination, do LGBT workers encounter biases that degrade the quality of their day-today workplace experiences? Using a representative sample of more than 300,000 employees in 28 ‘‘best case’’ organizations—federal agencies with LGBT-inclusive policies—the authors examine not only whether these informal workplace inequalities occur but also

MANAGING INCLUSIVENESS AND DIVERSITY IN TEAMS: HOW LEADER INCLUSIVENESS AFFECTS PERFORMANCE THROUGH STATUS AND TEAM IDENTITY
While there is increasing pressure to work collaboratively in interprofessional teams, health professionals often continue to operate in uni-professional silos. Leader inclusiveness is directed toward encouraging and valuing the different viewpoints of diverse members within team interactions, and has significant potential to overcome barriers to interprofessional team performance. In order to better understand the influence of leader inclusiveness, we develop

One Group’s Advantage or Another Group’s Disadvantage? How Comparative Framing Shapes Explanations of, and Reactions to, Workplace Gender Inequality
Gender inequality is usually described as women’s disadvantage, only rarely as men’s advantage. Moreover, it is often illustrated by metaphors such as the glass ceiling—an invisible barrier to women’s career advancement—metaphors that often also focus on women’s disadvantage. Two studies (N = 228; N = 495) examined effects of these different ways of framing gender inequality. Participants read about gender

Patterns of Gender Equality at Workplaces and Psychological Distress
Research in the field of occupational health often uses a risk factor approach which has been criticized by feminist researchers for not considering the combination of many different variables that are at play simultaneously. To overcome this shortcoming this study aims to identify patterns of gender equality at workplaces and to investigate how these patterns are associated with psychological distress.

Perceived workplace racial discrimination and its correlates: A meta-analysis
We combine the interactional model of cultural diversity (IMCD) and relative deprivation theory to examine employee outcomes of perceived workplace racial discrimination. Using 79 effect sizes from published and unpublished studies, we meta-analyze the relationships between perceived racial discrimination and several important employee outcomes that have potential implications for organizational performance. In response to calls to examine the context surrounding

PROFESSIONAL IMAGE MAINTENANCE: HOW WOMEN NAVIGATE PREGNANCY IN THE WORKPLACE
Women now constitute a significant portion of the workforce, making the effects of pregnancy on professional image (others’ perceptions of competence and character at work) more salient. While opinions regarding how pregnant women should manage others’ impressions and the consequences of doing so abound (Noveck, 2012) research to substantiate or disconfirm these opinions has lagged. In this paper, we present

Racial Separation at Home and Work: Segregation in Residential and Workplace Settings
Racial segregation has long characterized urban life in the U.S., with research consistently showing that minority groups occupy different social spaces than whites. While past scholarship has focused largely on residential contexts, a considerable portion of individuals’ days is spent outside of the home and existing research misses the potential for cross-group contact in non-residential contexts. In this paper, we
