Team Effectiveness and Patient Outcomes
- Allies within teams help create safe environments, which are proven to increase team effectiveness. According to a 2019 study published in Administrative Science Quarterly by Amy Edmondson, psychological safety encourages risk-taking and open communication, which is critical in medical teams where accurate and complete information-sharing is essential for patient safety.
Efficiency and Reduction in Workplace Tension
- Organizations with inclusive cultures experience reduced interpersonal conflicts. A 2021 study in the Journal of Applied Psychology found that acting as advocates for others, especially by those in positions of power, reduce workplace incivility and enhance team cohesion, resulting in more time dedicated to productive tasks (Wiley et al., 2021).
Retention and Reduction in Turnover
- Studies indicate that inclusive environments reduce turnover rates. The Journal of Organizational Behavior published a meta-analysis in 2018 showing that workplaces with supportive allies saw reduced turnover and increased job satisfaction among marginalized employees (Mor Barak et al., 2018).
Leadership Development
- A study published in Leadership Quarterly in 2021 found that advocating for underrepresented colleagues and addressing biases, enhanced leaders' emotional intelligence and empathy, critical skills for effective health care leadership (Eagly & Carli, 2021).
Reduction of Workplace Tension
- Research from Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior in 2019 showed that workplaces that actively encourage advocacy for others, especially among majority group members, see a significant decrease in discrimination complaints and overall workplace tension (Roberson, 2019).
