“…One effective approach to promoting diversity and inclusion involves integrating mission statements about these topics within their organizations to inspire employees and serve as a guide to address any challenges that may arise (Kadhium et al, 2021). They can demonstrate an organization's commitment and can be continuously revised to address any changing circumstances (Kadhium et al, 2021).

Objectives: Previous research has investigated cultural stress and well-being among individuals such as Hispanic college students and immigrants from other countries. However, there is a need to explore the impact of cultural stress among immigrants with a focus on the workforce. Method: Drawing from cultural stress theory, we present a theoretical framework that considers workplace context while exploring strategies that may mitigate the impact of cultural stress in the workplace, such as promoting diversity and inclusion, addressing biases and discrimination, and supporting employee mental health. Result: We provide actionable steps that can guide leaders to work toward a workplace where individuals develop a sense of belonging. Conclusion: This article provides a novel perspective on workplace diversity and inclusion that emphasizes the importance of considering cultural context in understanding and addressing workplace stress, with implications for psychology in the workplace. Public Significance StatementThis article proposes applying the concept of cultural stress theory to the immigrant experience in the workplace. It discusses how experiences and perceptions of discrimination influence the type of climate found in the workplace. It also proposes strategies that can help organizations create a diverse and inclusive work environment.

“…Out of several characteristics, mission, vision, and goals might not be that important (Leithwood & Azah, 2017). Despite either contrary or elusive evidence, the value of mission statements as a net positive or in need of a slight modification continued in most circles (David et al, 2014;Kadhium et al, 2021;Sidhu, 2003;Turhan & Kirkgöz, 2020).…”

Public schools widely use mission statements, and many educational administration programs teach mission statements as a necessary lever for school improvement. A mixed methods investigation examined three levels. An experiential phenomenological analysis examined graduate students’ experiences with mission statements within their own schools and professional life. A thematic analysis examined 80 schools in the Midwestern United States, broken down by high and low performance on state academic testing, ecological differences, quantitative structures of the mission statement, and qualitative themes and dimensions. A meta-synthesis compared findings with previous research. There were structural differences in mission statements, but the conclusion was mission statements were a legacy practice which served the political spectacle, and practitioners adopted the practice out of conformity. There was no direct evidence mission statements achieved the stated purpose. Recommendations were made to refashion mission statements and the school improvement process around four factors.
