Abstract
Racial minority/majority status can influence leader/follower dynamics, and thus influences follower experiences and psychological safety (Sidanius & Pratto, 1999). This field study explores these dynamics. Results indicate that members of the racial majority perceive more individualized consideration, and that gender moderates the relationship between individualized consideration and psychological safety.
