Within the workplace, employees face many job challenges. Those who identify as transgender may face many adverse job outcomes because of a lack of equity in the workplace. This lack of equity may be the result of a lack of trans-inclusive non-discrimination policies and laws. Additionally, trans-inclusive organizational cultures are not uniform across the spectrum of employment. Studies have shown the workplace challenges faced by many transgender individuals; however, the current knowledge base is lacking. This study contributes to the existing knowledge base by conducting a systematic review of existing literature and proposing the initial stages of developing a conceptual model to better understand how transgender equity can be achieved in the workplace. It is the hope that this review will stimulate further research into this area.
Recently, several states have introduced legislation designed to limit discussion around sexual orientation and gender identification. These types of legislation have been widely referred to as “Don't Say Gay” bills. Three state political characteristics: political culture, interparty competition, and general policy liberalism, which are deeply rooted in the political science literature, were used to examine a state's tendency to introduce or pass “Don't Say Gay” legislation. By using these variables, the state was not viewed in the Democratic/Republican dichotomy but rather by aspects enshrined in the state's political system. Using correlation analysis, the results from this study show that all three state political variables are correlated with introducing or passing a “Don't Say Gay” bill, while binary logistic regression results show that only political culture and interparty competition are statistically significant predictors of a state introducing or passing a “Don't Say Gay” bill.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
