Abstract: | Legal discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation still persists in most parts of the United States. One avenue of localized protection has been corporate policies against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. In a sample of N = 65 gay men, this paper examines whether differences exist on perceived workplace hostility, turnover intentions, perceived promotion opportunity, job and supervisor satisfaction and supervisor–subordinate relationship quality between the reports of men in organizations that have non-discrimination policies and those employed where they do not. Additionally, this paper examines if disclosure of sexual orientation to a supervisor affects the same variables. Findings suggest that the presence of a non-discrimination policy influences affective variables whereas disclosure influences career variables. Limitations of the study and directions for future research are discussed. |
