Abstract:
The aim of this study is to examine how faculty perceptions of the diversity climate affect faculty extra role behaviors and subsequently students’ satisfaction with their academic performance. The results indicate that the diversity climate of respect among faculty is positively related to their extra effort and going above and beyond for students. As well, that the effects of both student perceptions of the diversity climate of respect and student perceptions of faculty extra role behaviors on their satisfaction with academic performance are not only significant but connected. We also investigate the moderating effect of student race on that relationship. This study finds that student race and ethnicity play a role on how the diversity climate of respect affects their satisfaction with their academic performance.
