Sayantan Datta, Assistant Professor of Practice at the Centre for Writing and Pedagogy (CWP), Krea University has co-authored a book chapter titled Trials & Tribulations of LGBTQ+ People at Work as Barriers to Their Job Satisfaction: A Minority Stress Theory Perspective. This chapter, co-authored with Professor Uma Warrier, Professor at the Centre for Management Studies, Jain University, and Gouri Priya, Clinical Counselor at Workplace Options, has been published in the book Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: Creating Value Based Sustainable Organizations (Routledge, 2024).
In their peer-reviewed book chapter, Warrier, Priya and Datta draw upon their collaborative qualitative study that used semi-structured interviews with 32 queer and transgender participants to identify unique stressors that individuals from these minority groups encounter at the workplace. The findings of the study also emphasize the need for targeted interventions that could help people with diverse genders and sexualities to manage their ‘minority stress’ and improve their job satisfaction. The authors first presented their paper in a conference earlier this year at the University of Hyderabad.
