CARVALHO, Mônica Gurjão; NASCIMENTO, Clauber Silva do  and  PIRES, Thamires. The perception of female workers about organizational diversity: representativeness and belonging. Cad. psicol. soc. trab. [online]. 2024, vol.27, e-195950.  Epub July 05, 2024. ISSN 1516-3717.  https://doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-0490.cpst.2024.195950.

By a qualitative field research, this study sought to understand the different possibilities of diversity programs to reach workers from several social groups. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with three workers from companies that have diversity programs. The analysis was based on socio-historical psychology due to its dialectical character, having as its main tool the analysis of meaning cores. Results indicate the positive influence of organizational diversity programs on organizational belonging for workers who make up these groups. This study also observed that difficulties related to identification with diversity groups can lead workers to fail to adhere to these organizational policies. This research concluded that companies that have effective diversity programs show greater chances of attracting and retaining people belonging to minority groups. However, this effectiveness is directly linked to the adherence of workers to the diversity initiatives promoted by organizations.

Keywords : Industrial and organizational psychology; Socio-historical psychology; Diversity.
