Diversity in the Workplace: Multi-disciplinary and International Perspectives

Autor Stefan Gröschl
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 noi 2016
Most regions and countries in the world are experiencing increasingly diverse populations and labour markets. While the causes may vary, the challenges businesses face due to a heightened awareness of this diversity are often similar. Internally, organisations promote diversity and manage increasingly heterogeneous workforces, accommodate and integrate employees with different value and belief systems, and combat a range of different forms of discrimination with organisational and also societal consequences. Externally, organisations have to manage demands from government, consumer, and lobbying sources for the implementation of anti-discrimination policies and laws. This has generated demand for appropriate higher level teaching programmes and for more diversity-focused research. Diversity in the Workplace responds to the increasing social and political debate and interest in diversity throughout Europe. The contributors discuss the concept of diversity in different social and legal contexts and from the perspectives of different academic disciplines including sociology, anthropology, psychology, philosophy and organizational theory. The book includes a European view and the makings of a conceptual framework to literature on diversity that hitherto has tended to be US orientated and overwhelmingly practice focused. It will stimulate fruitful exchanges of ideas about different approaches to the challenges faced by businesses and organisations of all kinds. With chapters by authors involved in research into diversity issues at leading academic institutions across Europe, this book offers much that will interest academics, researchers and higher level students, as well as practitioners wanting to understand managing workforce diversity; affirmative action programmes; and anti-discriminatory policy and practice in a wider context.

Recenzii

'This book embraces the diversity of diversity; it deals with dimensions rarely covered within the literature. It also gives a significant contribution to the existing literature in diversity management by tackling several angles (global view, critical view, ...), many countries (Balkan countries, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, ...) and a few disciplines (business, social psychology, ...).' Sébastien Point, Strasbourg Business School, France 'A very interesting book about diversity management, which discusses new challenges in this field transversality and intersectionality but also naming and non-naming, multiple identities, conflicting forces for convergence and divergence, how to impose differences without favouring exclusion and finally how power processes in diversity management can hinder systemic change of inequalities in organizations. It also covers not very well documented countries in diversity management as the Balkan area.' Annie Cornet, University of Liège, Belgium 'Stefan Groschl's book Diversity in the Workplace is a tour de force of the field of diversity at work. It draws on the leading international scholars on a variety of topical themes of diversity management. It is a must read for anyone interested in diversity, whether in the public or private sector.'

Descriere

The contributors add a European view to the existing, mainly US-oriented, literature, examining how the modern organization promotes and manages diversity, accommodating and integrating different value and belief systems and anti-discrimination laws.
