dc.description.abstractThis study examines cultural inclusivity as a phenomenon in organisational communication. Its significant, original contribution to knowledge is identifying a construct of cultural inclusivity distinct from diversity, inclusiveness, and inclusion. Theories of organisational assimilation and member identity/identification are used to interpret the stories of organisational members from majority/dominant and minority/nondominant culture groups. The connection between ethnic/racial/national culture and the focal theories is explored. Clarification of the construct of cultural inclusivity and its relationship to cultural diversity, inclusiveness, and inclusion are developed. This enhances awareness of the core construct of cultural inclusivity in the stories of organisational members. Data gathered through loosely structured interviews produced stories from culturally diverse members’ experiences of similar communication from their organisations in Aotearoa/New Zealand about changes in working conditions under Covid-19 restrictions. Thematic analysis was used to explore participants’ perceptions of cultural inclusivity in organisational communication. Possibilities are presented for future research of this construct and its application in organisational communication.en_US
