posted on 2018-04-01, 00:00 authored by Alexander Newman, Ingrid Nielsen, R Smyth, G Hirst, Susan KennedyThis article examines the psychological processes through which diversity climate influences the work attitudes of refugee employees in Australia, and the conditional effects of ethnic identity on the relationship between diversity climate and work attitudes. Drawing on survey data from 135 refugees in employment in Australia, diversity climate was found to positively influence the affective organizational commitment of refugee employees through enhancing their psychological capital. The influence of diversity climate on both affective organizational commitment and turnover intentions through psychological capital was also found to be stronger when employees identify more with their ethnic group (ethnic identity). These findings are consistent with the predictions of conservation of resources theory (COR) and rejection sensitivity theory.
