Topic: Diversity

Define diversity. What information would you use to support the view that diversity is a pressing concern and issue for managers and organizations?

Diversity is differences among people due to age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, education, experience, physical appearance, capabilities/disabilities, and any other characteristic that is used to distinguish between people. There is a strong ethical imperative in many societies that diverse people must receive equal opportunities and be treated fairly and justly. Unfair treatment is also illegal. Effectively managing diversity can improve organizational effectiveness. Diverse organization members can be a source of competitive advantage, helping an organization provide customers with better goods and services. There is substantial evidence that diverse individuals continue to experience unfair treatment in the workplace as a result of biases, stereotypes, and overt discrimination.

Describe the three different types of interpersonal managerial roles. Each of these roles is critical for the managerial process. Which of the three roles do you think you could perform best?

In each of their managerial roles, managers can either promote the effective management of diversity or derail such efforts. For example, in their interpersonal roles, managers can convey that the effective management of diversity is a valued goal and objective (figurehead role), can serve as a role model and institute policies and procedures to ensure that diverse organization members are treated fairly (leader role), and can enable diverse individuals and groups to coordinate their efforts and cooperate with each other both inside the organization and at the organization’s boundaries (liaison role).

Discuss the two moral principles that guide managers in their efforts to meet their ethical imperative and provide an example of how these principles can help companies avoid costly lawsuits.

The principle of distributive justice dictates fair distribution of pay, promotions, job titles, interesting job assignments, office space, and other organizational resources among members of an organization. These outcomes should be distributed according to the meaningful contributions that individuals have made to the organization (such as time, effort, education, skills, abilities, and performance levels) and not irrelevant personal characteristics over which individuals have no control (such as gender, race, or age).

The principle of procedural justice requires that managers use fair procedures to determine how to distribute outcomes to organization members. This principle applies to typical procedures such as appraising subordinates’ performance, deciding who should receive a raise or a promotion, and deciding whom to lay off when an organization is forced to downsize.

Student examples of avoiding costly lawsuits will vary.

Explain the importance of managers in managing diversity.

In each of their managerial roles, managers can either promote the effective management of diversity or derail such efforts; thus they are critical to this process. When managers commit to supporting diversity, their authority and positions of power and status influence other members of an organization to make a similar commitment. Moreover, when managers commit to diversity, their commitment legitimizes the diversity management efforts of others. In addition, resources are devoted to such efforts, and all members of an organization believe that their diversity-related efforts are supported and valued.

In a hostile work environment, workers are faced with an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment because of their sex.

Several weeks in advance, Marlene submitted a request to take a day off work for an upcoming religious holiday that does not conform with the employer’s holiday schedule. Other employees are willing to trade shifts with Marlene. What would you recommend that Marlene’s manager do, and why?

Managers should recognize and be aware of different religions and their beliefs, especially regarding religious holidays. Marlene’s absence will not cause hardship to the company. When managers acknowledge, respect, and are flexible and allow employees to have time off for religious observances, employees feel respected and valued and employee loyalty is often enhanced. Employees who feel they are victims of religious discrimination file complaints and often start looking for other jobs.
