内容简介:

Drawing on theories of intersectionality of marginalization, social identity, and social networks, we develop a process model about how individuals respond to intersectional marginalization in ways that may reinforce or break the marginalization status quo. Specifically, we propose that intersectional marginalization leads to convergent rather than cross-cutting self-representations of multiple social identities, which in turn leads to perceptions of social identity threat versus self-development opportunities. These psychological states lead to behaviors that respectively reinforce or break the vicious cycle of intersectional marginalization and self-protecting behaviors. We also identify key individual, organizational, and situational moderators of each stage of the mediation relationships to ameliorate the pernicious effects or enhance the beneficial effects of relevant factors. Our theoretical model integrates existing siloed literatures and opens up new avenues of research and organizational interventions to rectify structural marginalization and ensure all employees fair access to organizational resources and full organizational citizenship.
