Situated in communication privacy management (CPM) theory, this study found that anticipated risk was the strongest predictor of minority religious identity disclosure at work. Older workers who regarded non-Christian belief or non-belief as central to who they were and who worked in smaller organizations disclosed their identity more than other participants. The follow-up analyses also revealed that the degree of disclosure varied by ethnicity, geographic region, religion, job rank, and membership in the organization’s dominant religion. Religious accommodation policy and religious centrality were associated with increased anticipation of benefits, which in turn was linked to increased disclosure. Finally, sense of belonging was associated with increased anticipation of benefits and decreased anticipation of risks, which also indirectly impacted disclosure. This study added more depth to CPM privacy rules and provided a broader understanding of minority religious identity disclosure at work. Recommendations for creating a religiously inclusive workplace and directions for future studies are provided.

出来还是不出来：美国工作场所的少数民族宗教身份自我披露

本研究基于通信隐私管理 (CPM) 理论，发现预期风险是工作中少数民族宗教身份披露的最强预测因素。将非基督教信仰或非信仰视为他们身份的核心并且在较小组织中工作的年长工人比其他参与者更多地披露了他们的身份。后续分析还显示，披露程度因种族、地理区域、宗教、工作级别和该组织主要宗教的成员身份而异。宗教通融政策和宗教中心地位与对福利的预期增加有关，而这又与披露增加有关。最后，归属感与收益预期的增加和风险预期的减少有关，这也间接影响了披露。这项研究增加了 CPM 隐私规则的深度，并提供了对工作中少数民族宗教身份披露的更广泛理解。提供了创建宗教包容性工作场所的建议以及未来学习的方向。
