Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to explore the factor structure of the Inclusion
Baselining Survey, an applied resource that measures aspects of inclusive culture in
Australian workplaces.
Design/methodology/approach – The Inclusion Baselining Survey was examined using
exploratory factor analysis of archival data gathered from two organisations in maledominated
industries. Organisation 1 (N=797) sampled employees working for a transport
manufacturing and construction company. Data used in Organisation 2 (N=810) was
gathered from employees the mining industry.
Findings – Results provide strong evidence for a six-factor structure to the Inclusion
Baselining Survey comprised of: stress, work-life balance, job satisfaction, supportive
supervision, opportunity to make valued contributions and showing visible commitment.
Originality/value – The factor structure of the Inclusion Baselining Survey has not
previously been examined. This study represents an initial step towards validation of an
Australian instrument for use in applied settings.
