Resumo |
For the past two decades the concept of managing individual difference in the workforce has been popular in many Western organizations, with calls to manage this "diversity" for the greater good of the organization and the\ individuals in it. Paradoxically, there is no agreed definition for this concept, and its description remains unclear and often contested (Jensen, Maznevski & Schneider 2011). Indeed, a range of terms is used, including diversity: diversity at work, managing diversity, diversity management, workplace diversity, productive diversity, and so forth. The foundation of the concept of managing diversity is the idea that an organization's workforce displays a range of “diverse” characteristics. The characteristics that are included under the heading Of "diversity" vary. |
