Does Increasing Gender Representativeness and Diversity Improve Organizational Integrity?
Recent scholarship has suggested that representative bureaucracy improves organizational integrity. This article tests this argument with respect to gender, using data from Korean government agencies from 2008 to 2014. The findings suggest that an increase in female representation and diversity in public organizations leads to an improvement in the measured level of organizational integrity. We found, however, that incidents of

Does board gender diversity improve the welfare of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender employees?
This paper focuses on two of the highly debated social issues corporations that are pressured to address—gender equality and workplace discrimination.

Do You See Me? An Inductive Examination of Differences Between Women of Color’s Experiences of and Responses to Invisibility at Work
Intersectional invisibility is a salient experience for women of color in the workplace and stems from their nonprototypicality in gender and race. We expand research and theory on intersectional invisibility to propose that women of color vary in their degrees of nonprototypicality, and thus in their social power and their experiences of and responses to invisibility at work. We present

Do women advance equity? The effect of gender leadership composition on LGBT-friendly policies in American firms

Drawing on social role and token theory, we test the relative impact of CEO gender and the gender composition of the board

Do black lives really matter in the workplace? Restorative justice as a means to reclaim humanity
Purpose – Overwhelming evidence suggests that black lives have not and do not matter in the American workplace. In fact, disturbing themes of black labor dehumanization, exploitation and racial discrimination appear throughout history into the present-day workplace. Yet, curiously, organizations and organizational scholars largely ignore how racism and slavery have informed management practice (Cooke, 2003) and contemporary workplace racism. The

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Is It Just Another Catchphrase?

Before I was tasked with writing this piece, I had been educating myself for years on the issues that revolved around DEI. I immersed myself in topics such as

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion That Matter
My pending exodus from academic medicine after 15 years is prompted by my belief that the institutional and systemic racism so obvious to me would never be fully acknowledged, much less addressed. This belief was formed after several experiences that left me — a Black woman — feeling stifled, unheard, unvalidated, unsupported, and concerned for my health.1 Too often, academic

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION POLICIES: ARE ORGANIZATIONS TRULY COMMITTED TO A WORKPLACE CULTURE SHIFT?
This paper proceeds from the premise that true change can only be realized after first coming to terms with harsh realities. The murder of George Floyd in 2020 sent shock waves throughout our collective conscience resulting in a racial reckoning unlike any other in modern history. Calls for change throughout Corporate America had organizations pledging millions of dollars toward the
