Abstract:
Solo-minority managers' (N = 150) perception of support for diversity (PSD) and turnover intentions were examined with survey data. Solos PSD were negatively related to racial separation from supervisors and peers. Exclusivity of minority status moderated the relationship between solos PSD and their turnover intentions. A stronger negative relationship between PSD and turnover intentions was observed for exclusive minority solos, managers who are the only racioethnic minority (i.e., nonwhite) than race-specific solos, managers who are the only member of their racioethnic classification in their peer group but have peers from other nonwhite racioethnic groups.
