This study explores the relationship between Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and employees’psychological safety in organizational settings. While previous research has primarily focused on the structural and policy aspects of DEI, limited attention has been given to the psychological conditions that enable its success. Through a comprehensive literature review, this study traces the conceptual evolution of DEI and its three key dimensions, and examines the theoretical foundations and cultural variations of psychological safety, with particular attention to Asian and Taiwanese workplace contexts. The findings suggest that psychological safety serves as a critical psychological mechanism that links diverse structures with inclusive organizational cultures, allowing employees to express opinions, share perspectives, and engage in collaborative learning without fear of negative consequences. In Eastern cultural contexts characterized by hierarchical relationships and collectivist values, the development of psychological safety is influenced by trust, leadership behavior, and relational harmony. The study concludes that effective DEI implementation requires not only institutional fairness but also a culture of interpersonal respect and safety. Overall, this research contributes to the theoretical integration of DEI and psychological safety and provides insights for organizations aiming to foster inclusive, equitable, and psychologically secure workplaces. |
