Research project: How inclusion climate, trust climate, empowerment and diversity could help employees and employers?
Abstract
It is well known that the increase of migration across Europe requires the development of appropriate methodologies for both social and work integration. If companies do not adopt policies and practices that encourage the positive integration of employees with different backgrounds, the risk is to leave behind a concrete competitive advantage which is present in other organizations. The main objective of the project is to examine how interactions between climate for inclusion, diversity climate and diversity practices within a trustworthy work environment will lead employees to feel more empowered and this will positively impact their job satisfaction and job performance, while decreasing their turnover intentions.
