Our desire to cultivate and sustain positive identities has a powerful influence on workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) dynamics. While sometimes the quest for positive identities promotes celebration of diversity and uniqueness, in many other circumstances our inherent motivation to strive toward building more positive identities can have unintended consequences for DEI in organizations. In this review, we organize research on positive identities at work to better understand the experiences of the diverse set of individuals that compose our work organizations today. We invite a critical examination of how individuals with underrepresented and dominant identities deal with identity demands in diverse workplaces in both helpful and harmful ways. We conclude with directions for future research on interventions that mitigate identity threat and promote inclusion.

多元组织中的积极身份构建


我们培养和维持积极身份的愿望对工作场所的多样性、公平性和包容性 （DEI） 动态有着强大的影响。虽然有时对积极身份的追求会促进对多样性和独特性的庆祝，但在许多其他情况下，我们努力建立更积极身份的内在动机可能会对组织的 DEI 产生意想不到的后果。在这篇评论中，我们组织了关于工作中积极身份的研究，以更好地了解构成我们当今工作组织的不同个体的经历。我们邀请对代表性不足和占主导地位的个人如何以有益和有害的方式处理多元化工作场所的身份需求进行批判性审查。我们总结了减轻身份威胁和促进包容性的干预措施的未来研究方向。
