| Popis: | As a concept, political correctness has supporters and detractors. In the current study, company policies aimed at promoting political correctness in organizations are examined. First, the nature of political correctness is explored to provide a clearer understanding of what is connoted by the term. Second, the effects of organizational policies promoting political correctness on perceived creativity in the workplace are examined. The findings, based on 215 men and 205 women, reveal a two-factor structure to political correctness: inclusiveness and micro-aggressions. Differences emerge for policies that promote inclusiveness and those aligned with micro-aggressions with regard to perceived workplace creativity. |
