Cover Story: In Probing the Links between Workforce Diversity, Goal Clarity, and Employee Job Satisfaction in Public Sector Organizations, Edmund Stazyk, Randy Davis, and Jiaqi Liang use U.S. Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey data to examine whether employees in diverse organizations perceive job goals differently and whether this, in turn, influences employee job satisfaction. They find that increased racial and ethnic diversity are associated with greater goal clarity, especially in the presence of robust diversity management policies. In such cases, workers also report higher job satisfaction. Interestingly, gender-based diversity fails to have any bearing on goal clarity or satisfaction, suggesting the need for careful, nuanced analyses when evaluating how and when diversity matters.
