Value for diversity: an investigation of diversity climate, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intent to leave

This research examined the relationships of diversity climate via organizational fairness and organizational inclusion (Mor Barak et al., 1998) and job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intent to leave. Further, personal value for diversity was investigated as a moderator of those relationships. The participants included 202 African American women affiliated with a national sorority. The mean age and years of experience was 29.62 and 4.33, respectively. Data were collected electronically using an Internet site hosting the survey questions. The present study provides evidence that diversity climate positively affects job satisfaction and affective commitment, and negatively affects intent to leave. In addition, personal value for diversity moderates the relationship between affective commitment and organizational fairness and organization inclusion. Personal value for diversity also moderated the relationship between intent to leave and organizational inclusion.
