- Title
THE EFFECT OF LGBT--INCLUSIVE POLICIES ON ORGANIZATIONAL ATTRACTION.
- Authors
Melton, E. Nicole; Cunningham, George B.
- Abstract
The article studies people's perceptions of organizations with lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT)-inclusive policies. Using signaling and social dominance theories in sport and non-sport contexts, the study interviewed 120 undergraduate students from a liberal Washington, D.C. and a conservative Southwest university. LGBT-inclusiveness signals enhance organizational attractiveness except for people with high social dominance orientation (SDO), or dominance-related concerns.
