Research has found heterosexist discrimination negatively relates to vocational outcomes among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people, but no known study has examined how heterosexist discrimination relates to the attainment of decent work. Building from the Psychology of Working Theory, which proposes that specific forms of marginalization coupled with economic constraints limit a person's ability to secure decent work, the present study examined theoretically hypothesized pathways to decent work among a sample of employed sexual minority adults. Heterosexist discrimination and social class were examined as direct predictors of decent work, and indirect links were examined via work volition and career adaptability. Among our sample of 218 sexual minority people, structural equation modeling results suggested heterosexist discrimination and social class directly-and indirectly through work volition-predicted decent work. Practical implications and directions for future research are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record
研究发现，异性恋歧视与女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋（LGB）人群的职业结果呈负相关，但尚无已知研究探讨异性恋歧视与获得体面工作之间的关系。本研究以《工作心理学》为理论基础，该理论提出，特定形式的边缘化加上经济限制限制了一个人获得体面工作的能力，研究检验了就业的少数性成年人样本中体面工作的理论假设途径。异性恋歧视和社会阶层被视为体面工作的直接预测因素，工作意愿和职业适应性则被视为间接联系。在我们的 218 名性少数人群样本中，结构方程模型的结果表明，异性恋歧视和社会阶层直接——并通过工作意愿间接——预测了体面工作。讨论了实际意义和未来研究方向。
