"By assembling an international cast of contributors from all
walks of research life, Professors Prasad, Pringle and Konrad
successfully broaden the scope of scholarly discourse on workplace
diversity. This stimulating volume considers how to define this
fuzzy construct, what "differences" are more important than others,
and how to make best use of alternative research methods at
different levels of analysis. It reviews what we have learned about
workplace diversity along several important dimensions (e.g.,
gender, race, ethnicity, weight, sexual orientation, disabilities,
class), and it offers useful recommendations for how to conduct
future research that will expand our knowledge of the implications
of diversity for individuals, marginalized groups, work
organizations, and societies'"- Gary N Powell, Professor of
Management, University of Connecticut
"In this much-needed Handbook, an international collection of
first-rate scholars deals incisively and perceptively with the
problems of diversity, difference, inclusion, and cultural
pluralism in organizations.This Handbook will be invaluable for
researchers and advanced students - one of those books that stays
on the top of the desk, covered with bookmarks'"- Joanne Martin,
Stanford University
Globalization and its melting pot of different nationalities,
ethnicities and cultures is attracting research that is gathering
in substance and theory. A dynamic new field that represents a
significant focus within management and organisation studies is
emerging.
This Handbook showcases the scope of international perspectives
that exist on workplace diversity and is the first to define this
hotly contested field.
Part I of the Handbook dissects the theoretical reasons and
shows how the study of workplace diversity follows different
directions. Part II critiques quantitative and qualitative research
methods within the field, while Part III investigates the parallels
and distinctions between different workplace groups. Key issues are
drawn together in an insightful introduction from the editors, and
future directions for research are proposed in the conclusion.
The Handbook of Workforce Diversity is an indispensable resource
for students and academics of human resource management,
organizational behavior, organizational psychology and organization
studies.
