Abstract(s)
Este estudo visa investigar a relação entre a diversidade, a inclusão e o compromisso
organizacional.
Uma amostra de 190 colaboradores de diversas organizações realizou inquéritos para
medir as suas perceções sobre a inclusão e o compromisso organizacional, enquanto a
diversidade no local de trabalho foi operacionalizada através das características
sociodemográficas dos colaboradores.
Os resultados indicam que a inclusão está positivamente relacionada com o
compromisso organizacional. Contudo, não foi possível aferir se a relação entre a inclusão e o
compromisso organizacional é considerada mais forte entre os colaboradores que se
identificaram com grupos sociodemográficos sub-representados, não corroborando assim que
a diversidade, através das características sociodemográficas dos colaboradores, moderou esta
relação.
No geral, estas conclusões sugerem que a criação de um ambiente de trabalho
inclusivo e diversificado pode ser particularmente importante para aumentar o compromisso
organizacional dos colaboradores. As implicações práticas e teóricas destas descobertas são
discutidas.
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between diversity, inclusion and organizational commitment. A sample of 190 employees from diverse organizations completed surveys measuring their perceptions of inclusion and organizational commitment, while workplace diversity was operationalized through employees' sociodemographic characteristics. Results indicated that inclusion was positively related to organizational commitment. However, it was not possible to assess whether the relationship between inclusion and organizational commitment is considered stronger among employees who identified with underrepresented sociodemographic groups, thus not corroborating that diversity, through the employee’s sociodemographic characteristics, moderated this relationship. In general, these conclusions suggest that creating an inclusive and diverse work environment may be particularly important for increasing employee’s organizational commitment. The practical and theoretical implications of these findings are discussed.
