People strive to establish and maintain positive and longlasting relationships. However, a subtle yet common type of workplace mistreatment is workplace ostracism, which occurs when members of an organization ignore or exclude another member at work. Close to 70% of American employees have experienced ostracism at work, and the situation is worse among those with a racial minority background. This project aims to address this issue by examining workplace ostracism among employees with a racial minority background. We investigated employees’ workplace ostracism experiences, their negative emotions, and coping strategies among White and non-White employees, aiming to understand how an employee’s racial minority background affects their interpersonal dynamics at work.
