Özet

Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender (GLBT) employees constitute one of the largest, but least studied minority groups in the workforce. Given the scarcity of an up to date systematic literature review on sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace since Croteau (1996) and Ward (2003), this study aims to fill this gap through systematic literature review based on rigorous criteria. By examining 52 selected papers, the study specifically attempts to systematize the existing literature, explore key emerging themes and recent developments, identify research gaps, and suggest potential areas for future research. As a result, 'coming out', 'wage inequality', 'GLBT employee groups', 'the effects of GLBT (non) discrimination on the workplace and business outcomes' were identified as the major themes of the current review. Social institutions, legal frameworks, and cultural norms were determined as the key pillars of sexual orientation discrimination in the workplace. (C) The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
