Through qualitative interviews with DEI leaders across various institutions, the authors found that effectiveness is shaped by institutionally mediated, personally mediated, and internally mediated factors. The research underscores the importance of personal commitment, leadership development, and administrative support in enhancing the impact of DEI leaders within the EM field.
