| Our PDW explores the intersection of research on positive relationships at work and inclusion within the workplace. Although scholarly work has long acknowledged an association between positive relationships at work and topics related to inclusion, efforts to examine this relationship explicitly are relatively nascent. The proposed PDW is aimed at building a stream of research that links positive relationships and inclusion by understanding how relationships at work offer a microfoundational lens for creating more inclusive organizations. To this end, the first part of our session is designed to foster connections and ground scholars in key concepts related to both building relationships and understanding inclusivity. The second part of our session invites generative dialogue through a panel discussion with four scholars whose work sits at the crossroads of relationships and inclusion. Through the proposed session, our broad goals are to create opportunities for novel scholarship and research-oriented collaborations among members of the Positive Relationships at Work Microcommunity, scholars who study workplace diversity and inclusion, and individuals interested in relationships at work more generally. |
