The Impact of Diversity Training on Employee Commitment: A Comparative Study of Companies in Turkey with and without Training, and the Moderating Role of Age

This study aims to examine the effects of diversity training on employees' organizational commitment and perceived inclusiveness, as well as the moderating role of age in these relationships. The research was conducted with 212 participants working in companies in Turkey. A Socio-Demographic Information Form, Organizational Commitment Scale, and Inclusivity Scale were used as data collection tools. The results of the research showed that diversity training has a positive and significant effect on both organizational commitment and perceived inclusiveness. Additionally, it was found that age has a moderating role in the relationship between diversity training and organizational commitment, but does not have a moderating role in the relationship between diversity training and perceived inclusiveness. These findings suggest that diversity training can be an effective tool in increasing employees' organizational commitment and perception of inclusiveness. However, it should be noted that age may affect the effectiveness of diversity training. These results can help organizations develop their diversity management strategies and increase employee commitment and perception of inclusiveness.
