Heteronormativity in workplace settings can adversely affect LGBTQ+ individuals as well as cisgender heterosexual people who do not fully align with its norms. This qualitative study examines how aspiring Human Resources professionals in Spain perceive, reproduce, and challenge heteronormativity within organizational contexts. Through four focus groups involving 24 university students, participants engaged with a fictional scenario to explore manifestations of heteronormativity. Their discussions revealed its presence in gendered role assignments, leadership structures, aesthetic expectations, and interpersonal dynamics. A recurring theme was the power imbalance that privileges hegemonic masculinity, with men facing stricter penalties than women when deviating from normative standards. Although participants acknowledged evolving societal attitudes in Spain, they observed that men often resist change due to the advantages conferred by heteronormative norms. Furthermore, despite a general climate of acceptance toward LGBTQ+ identities, traditional family expectations continue to generate tension. Participants expressed a range of attitudes, from reinforcing heteronormativity to critically reflecting on it, sometimes recognizing their own complicity or using humor to expose normative pressures. The study underscores the pivotal role of educational institutions in shaping the values and perspectives of future organizational leaders.
