The impact of discriminatory climate and disclosure on identity centrality and turnover intention

The study integrates emerging work in the organization literature namely, identity negotiation and threat, stigma, diversity, and inclusion in order to examine the role of discriminatory climate and disclosure in the centrality of an invisible and stigmatized non-work identity at work and the subsequent effect on turnover intention among professional lesbians and gay men. Our results highlight the importance of embracing fair and inclusive policies, culture, and climate for members of all groups and enabling the expression and sharing of identity so that organizations may retain and unlock the talent of their demographically diverse workforce.
