Although we often push for more diversity\, research has n ot often tracked its ultimate consequences. In this talk\, I will present evidence that the level of racial diversity within an organization provide s moral credentials for that organization. In my first studies\, I find th at there is a unique link between organizational diversity and moral crede ntials: racially diverse organizations are perceived to be more ethical th an organizations with more homogeneity in their racial composition. My nex t studies show that when an organization is accused of being unethical\, p eople become more attuned to its diversity\, compared to when people are a ware of a non-ethics related problem. One reason for why organizational di versity provides moral credentials is that diverse organizations are seen as less affected by conformity pressures than homogeneous organizations. M y last study shows that racial diversity serves as a type of armor for org anizations\, protecting them from accusations of unethicality\; as a resul t\, racially diverse organizations receive a smaller penalty for their une thical actions than a racially homogeneous organization. Racially diverse organizations are punished less because they are seen as valuing ethics mo re. Collectively\, these results suggest that organizational diversity pro vides organizations with moral credentials. Understanding the link between organizational diversity and perceptions of morality provides insight int o the central role that diversity now plays for organizations. More broadl y\, the findings also extend our understanding of how our moral values shi ft to be in tune with contemporary issues. \n\nFor more information\, plea se contact Linda Foster at: linda [dot] foster [at] mcgill [dot] ca. \n DTSTART:20140325T173000Z DTEND:20140325T190000Z LOCATION:Room 245\, Bronfman Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 1G5\, 1001 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Seminar: Sunny Kim\, Northwestern University URL:/channels/event/seminar-sunny-kim-northwestern-uni versity-234235 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
