一个组织的多样性氛围是指员工对政策和做法的共同看法，这些政策和做法传达了促进多样性和消除歧视在多大程度上是该组织的优先事项。作者提出了组织背景的一个突出因素，即组织所在社区的种族构成，具有重要的信号功能，可以塑造气候感知的形成。在对美国142个零售银行单位的研究中，发现了一个组织的劳动力的种族组成和多样性气候之间的关系的证据，这是由该组织所在社区的种族组成调节。研究结果表明，当少数民族生活在一个组织所处的社区中时，劳动力多样性会对员工的多样性气候感知产生影响。随着少数民族受欢迎的份额增加，劳动力多样性往往会失去这种信号价值。
An organization's diversity climate refers to employees' shared perceptions of the policies and practices that communicate the extent to which fostering diversity and eliminating discrimination is a priority in the organization. The authors propose a salient element of the organizational context, the racial composition of the community where the organization is located, serves an important signaling function that shapes the formation of climate perceptions. In a study of 142 retail bank units in the United States, evidence is found for a relationship between the racial composition of an organization's workforce and diversity climate that is moderated by the racial composition of the community where the organization is located. The results suggest that when few racial minorities live in the community in which an organization is embedded, workforce diversity has an impact on employees' diversity climate perceptions. As racial minority popular share increases, workforce diversity tends to lose this signaling value.
