The diversity management literature is inconsistent regarding factors that affect job satisfaction of marginalized groups. We examine job satisfaction of LGBTs in the US federal workforce by following the path of the diversity management and job satisfaction research. We empirically test this relationship using the 2014 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey employing confirmatory factor analysis and structural equal modelling. We find that increased perceptions of a culture of diversity contribute to LGBT employee perception of their skills being effectively utilized as well as employee job satisfaction. We also find that LGBT's perception of their skills directly contributes to job satisfaction. We conclude by offering policy implications for public managers to consider when developing diversity management strategies for marginalized groups. Copyright © 2016 ASAC.

Résumé Quels sont les facteurs qui influencent la satisfaction au tra-vail des groupes marginalisés? À cette question, la littérature sur la gestion de la diversité propose des réponses variées. Dans cet article, nous examinons la satisfaction au travail des personnes LGBT dans l'effectif fédéral américain en suivant la piste des recherches sur la gestion de la diversité et la satisfaction au travail. Nous testons empiriquement la relation entre les deux concepts en nous appuyant sur le Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey réalisé en 2014, sur l'analyse factorielle confirmatoire et sur la modélisation égale structurale. Les résultats montrent que les perceptions accrues d'une culture de diversité contribuent non seulement à la perception que l'employé LBGT a de l'utilisation effective de ses compétences, mais aussi à sa satisfaction au travail. Par ailleurs, la perception qu'il a de ses compétences contribue directement à la satisfaction au travail. Nous concluons en proposant les aspects politiques que les gestionnaires publics doivent considérer pendant la mise sur pied de stratégies de gestion de la diversité en faveur des groupes marginalisés.
