Rethinking diversity and inclusion practices in leadership roles

该项目旨在研究在管理和领导角色中缺乏种族和性别多样性的问题。明显的失衡质疑精英原则的运作，并可能导致组织和社会脆弱性。该项目将对主要组织进行大规模实地实验，以调查如何使用信号、歧视、公平和身份认同等经济学理论作为基础，改善工作场所的多样性和包容性。预期结果是确定在吸引、聘用、发展和保留方面的最佳多样性和包容性做法。这将通过增加工作场所的多样性而带来显著的好处。

This project aims to study the lack of racial and gender diversity in management and leadership roles. The noticeable imbalances question the functioning of the meritocracy principle and may lead to organisational and social vulnerabilities. This project will apply large-scale field experiments with major organisations to investigate how workplace diversity and inclusion can be improved using as foundation economic theories of signaling, discrimination, fairness, and identity. The expected outcome is the identification of best diversity and inclusion practice in attraction, hiring, development and retention. This will provide significant benefit through an increase in workplace diversity.
