Item Open Access The personal as the professional: a mediational approach to understanding disclosure of sexual orientation(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2019) Agbeke, Della V., author; Cleveland, Jeanette N., advisor; Kraiger, Kurt, committee member; Henry, Kimberly L., committee member; Conroy, Samantha A., committee memberLesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals experience high rates of interpersonal stressors in the form of mistreatment. Through disclosing one's sexual orientation, one increases the visibility of their marginalized identity, thereby increasing risk for mistreatment. Due to this risk, disclosure has been named as one of the main workplace challenges for LGB individuals. However, one's work life is not siloed from their nonwork life. Disclosure in one domain may affect outcomes and processes within the other. Thus, there is a need to take an integrated perspective in understanding LGB disclosure and outcomes. The current study sought to test the applicability of work-nonwork strain, identity threat, and anticipated work discrimination as mediating variables in the relationship between cross-domain disclosure and work and nonwork outcomes. Additionally, this study sought to assess the conditional indirect effects when coworker support, supervisor support, and nonwork support as moderators between mediating strains and subsequent outcomes. Results suggest that there is a specific indirect effect of work-nonwork strain in the relationship between cross-domain disclosure and physical health, substance use, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions, respectively. Results also suggest that moderated mediation may not be present among the tested relationships.
