Understanding of Diversity and Inclusion in a Perceived Homogeneous Culture: A Study of Organizational Commitment and Job Performance Among Korean Employees

The role of diversity practices and inclusion in promoting trust and employee engagement

“…Employee perceptions of inclusion have been found to strongly predict commitment and job performance (Cho & Mor Barak, 2008;Mor Barak & Levin, 2002;Mor Barak, Findler, & Wind, 2001) and higher levels of employee participation are related to better organizational performance (Denison, 1990). When employees, specifically women and minorities, report feeling excluded, they also report lower job commitment (Findler, Wind, & Mor Barak, 2007).…”

A structural equation model of the effects of diversity characteristics and inclusion on organizational outcomes in the child welfare workforce

“…20-21). Several studies, initiated by Mor Barak, have examined the relationship between individual and organizational characteristics and turnover intention by building on this theory (Cho & Mor Barak, 2008;Findler, Wind, & Mor-Barak, 2007;Mor Barak et al, 2006). In particular, Cho and Mor Barak (2008) identified the relationship between child service employees' perception of inclusion and their commitment to the organization based on social identity theory, specifying that social identity theory "indicates that employee perceptions of organizational actions and policies are influenced by their belonging to specific groups" (p. 106).…”

Research by Cho and Mor Barak (2008) showed that perception of inclusion predicted both organizational commitment and job performance.…”

“…The original fifteen-item inclusion-exclusion scale was developed to measure the degree to which individuals feel a part of critical organizational processes, including work group involvement (WGI), influence in decision making (IDM), and access to information and resources (AIR) (Cho & Mor Barak, 2008;Mor Barak & Cherin, 1998;Mor Barak et al, 2006).…”

Citizen Preference and Resource Allocation: The Case for Participatory Budgeting in Seoul

“…As one might expect, the budget creation process in Seoul is a highly politicised affair, with diverse stakeholder groups competing for a portion of the city's resources or influence over how the money is spent. This process is further complicated by the inherent features of the city's population, which, despite being more homogenous than other international capitals, is by far the most diverse within the country (Cho and Mor Barak 2008), which increases the potential for political conflict and incompatible demands (Protasel 1988).
