DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #20289 on 2024-09-16 at 00:49:01 The effect of employee perception of management cheap talk on ethical climate and turnover intent: Evidence from store and employee-level analyses Baik, Young Il 2024-04-08 Employees Culture This study investigates the impact of employee perceptions of management cheap talk on ethical climate and turnover intent within the context of diversity. I define diversity cheap talk as the discrepancy between management’s communication and actual workplace practices. Drawing on the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory and utilizing both store-level and employee-level longitudinal analysis, I find that diversity cheap talk negatively influences the ethical climate and increases turnover intent. To address endogeneity concerns, I employ a cross-lagged variable test and exploit hate crime occurrences near employee residences. The adverse effects of diversity cheap talk on ethical climate and turnover intent are more pronounced in stores with employees who have a heightened interest in diversity and have undergone formal diversity training, and less pronounced in stores with diversity-aligned hiring practices. Furthermore, store-level analyses suggest an increase in employee turnover following diversity cheap talk, while employee-level tests suggest that exposure to discrimination and lack of management remedial action may be a potential mechanism for identifying diversity cheap talk.
