Abstract:
Companies are increasingly advertising DEI as job seekers are looking for employers who are DEI friendly. We don’t necessarily know everything that a job seeker is experiencing is what they would experience in their organization. Prior research suggests that this could be problematic- unmet expectations, and newcomers job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intentions to stay. There were 708 survey participants in the survey launched on Prolific. The study supported each of the three hypotheses. This study provides organizations with some insight into the importance of DEI practices and programs for newcomers.
