“…With regards to subjective perceptions about how diversity is valued, integrated and supported within the organization (namely a diversity climate; Kaplan, Wiley, & Maertz, 2011) there are some previous studies showing that a climate for diversity can have implications for employees' wellbeing (Schonfeld & Chang, 2017). Specifically, a high diversity climate can contribute to higher employee job satisfaction (e.g., Brimhall, Lizano, & Mor Barak, 2014) and organizational attachment (Kaplan et al, 2011); at the same time, other organizational climates related to the fair treatment of employees (e.g., justice climate, Whitman, Caleo, Carpenter, Horner, & Bernerth, 2012) have shown to be related to safety performance (Gatien, 2010) and safety injuries reporting (Beyea, 2004;Weiner, Hobgood, & Lewis, 2008). However, as previously discussed, there is only one study about the relationship between diversity climate (of which the perception of fair treatment is only one component) and safety behaviors and it was specifically focused on psychological diversity climate and safety participation behaviors (Paolillo, Pasini, Silva, & Magnano, 2016); the results showed that such climate perceptions led to an environment where people's well-being and safety were important, thereby motivating employees to voluntarily participate in safety enhancing behaviors.…”

Introduction: This paper represents a first attempt to fill a gap in research about different specific climates and safety outcomes, by empirically identifying patterns of climates and exploring the possible effect of different climates at the department level on some specific safety outcomes. The first objective was to explore how different specific climates (safety, communication, diversity and inclusion) can be associated to each other, considering the department level of analysis. The second objective was to examine the relationships between those patterns of climates with safety performance (compliance and participation behaviors). Method: A total of 429 blue-collar workers in 35 departments answered a questionnaire covering safety, diversity, inclusion, and communication climate measures. Cluster analysis was performed to identify clusters of departments with different climate patterns and their impact on safety compliance and safety participation behaviors. Subsequently, a hierarchical multiple linear regression was conducted at the individual-level to test the effect of climate patterns, by controlling for some sociodemographic variables. Results: Results showed the existence of four differentiated clusters of departments. Three of those clusters showed homogenous patterns (coherent association among perceptions of low, medium and high climates) and one heterogeneous (low and medium perceptions). The findings also revealed that the higher the climates perceptions, the higher the levels of safety participation and safety compliance, with safety participation being more affected than compliance. Conclusions: The present research showed the associated effects of some organizational climate factors, such as fair treatment, inclusion, safety and communication within the organization, which had not been previously studied in their combined relationships, on safety behaviors. Practical applications: Several other organizational climate factors, such as fair treatment, inclusiveness and communication, may play an important role in safety, showing the importance of broadening the focus on safety climate as one of the main predictors of safety behaviors.

“…When companies actively manage the differences between the workers by encouraging inclusion, it increases the commonality between personnel, decrease their disagreements, and also boosts corporate performance. Brimhall, Lizano, and Barak (2014) examined the ways by which diverse organizational environment through inclusion increases job satisfaction and reduces the intention to leave. This study also demonstrates the mediating role of inclusion in the diversity of the workplace leads towards positive organizational outcomes.…”

This research is aimed to investigate the effects of workplace diversity on organizational citizenship behavior with the mediating role of inclusion. Today the problems faced by the organization’s executives are to develop a culture that gives value to differences and enhances the efficiency of the entire workforce. Employees of the IT sector of Lahore are selected as respondents and the data is collected through an adapted questionnaire. The sample size is 368 and convenience sampling is used. Regression analysis is applied to evaluate the data through SPSS software. Findings show that workforce diversity decreases organizational citizenship behavior but this relationship can be modified by applying the mediating role of inclusion. Results will help out the decision-making authorities to understand how effective workplace diversity management influences the employee’s citizenship behaviors.

The purpose of this paper is to integrate the results obtained from various studies on the diversity climate.The academic development of the concept of diversity climate in work life has been analyzed in a comprehensive way. Forty-one empirical studies published between 1975 and 2018 were retrieved from the ISI Web of Knowledge database and included in this theory-driven review. The main research questions of the current study are the following: "What do we know about the diversity climate in organizations? What theories is diversity climate based on? What is the focal point of the diversity climate? What are the dimensions and outcomes of diversity climate?". The result suggests that the holistic picture about the diversity climate theories, variables, research method, unit of analysis and results of the articles reviewed.This research helps to identify diversity climate which is important for the graduate students, researchers and scholars who are interested or working in the field of diversity and diversity climate..
