Research Methodology: The research adopts a descriptive methodology, relying on systematic literature review and conceptual analysis. Data were collected from scholarly articles and analyzed to assess the impact of management’s D&I practices on promotion processes.

Practical implications: The organizations need to build a transparent and inclusive promotion framework which is not only compatible to D&I organization goals but also emphasize on meritocracy and fairness.

Theoretical implications: This study extends the D&I literature by offering a theoretical framework that connects management commitment to D&I with the fairness of promotion.
