Workplace racial composition, perceived discrimination, and organizational attachment
چکیده انگلیسی

Prior research has devoted considerable attention to the relationship between the racial and ethnic composition of jobs and various indicators of organizational attachment. Fewer studies, however, examine how workplace racial composition affects individuals’ experiences of racial discrimination or how these experiences impact workers’ organizational attachment. To address this lacuna, we first examine the effects of workplace racial composition on perceived racial and ethnic discrimination. Next, we examine whether perceived racial discrimination mediates the association between racial composition and organizational attachment observed in prior studies. Finally, we explore whether these relationships are similar (symmetric) or different (non-symmetric) for non-Whites and Whites. The analyses indicate: (1) working with predominately same-race coworkers tends to diminish perceptions of racial discrimination, (2) perceived racial discrimination mediates some of the effects of racial/ethnic composition on organizational attachment, and (3) some non-symmetric effects between non-Whites and Whites are found. We conclude with implications for future research.


► We examine racial discrimination as a mediator between racial composition and organizational attachment.
► Working with predominately same race coworkers diminishes perceptions of racial discrimination.
► Perceived racial discrimination mediates some of the effects of composition on attachment.
► Some non-symmetric effects between non-Whites and Whites are found.
