In addition, this study investigates the mediating effects of employees situational traits on the relationships between DEI initiatives and employee retention, as well as on the relationship between organizational culture and employee retention. The study employs structural equation modelling to analyse a sample of 429 working employees. The findings suggest that DEI initiatives have a more substantial influence on employee retention compared to organizational culture. Employee situational traits mediate the effect of organizational culture and DEI initiatives on retention, emphasizing the importance of individual experiences. Therefore, integrating DEI initiatives into the organizational culture can create an inclusive workplace, attracting and retaining a diverse workforce. 2026 The Author(s).
