Examining Workplace Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) With The COMMIT Inclusive Behavior Framework
Efforts to protect marginalized and minority groups from workplace discrimination go back decades: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 established a federal law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees because of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin (United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, n.d.) Even though a previous study declared that now more than ever, diversity and inclusion are critical topics in workplaces around the world (Grissom, 2018). Other researchers proposed that future research should systematically examine, for instance, specific positive mechanisms that may promote climates of organizational egalitarianism and inclusion (Warren, Donaldson, Lee & Donaldson, 2019).
