Although diversity is a twentieth-century term, as the United
States continues through the twenty-first century, the issue of
diversity in society and in organizations is becoming more complex.
Managing Diversity in the Military addresses current equal
opportunity and diversity issues and explores how the military is
attempting to resolve them.
The research presented reflects interests of scholars from
various backgrounds who use different models, approaches, and
methodologies, many of which are adapted from the study of civilian
institutions. The work is divided into five sections "Contemporary
Approaches to Managing Diversity," "Diversifying Leadership: Equity
in Evaluation and Promotion," "Gender Integration and Sexual
Harassment," "Military Discipline and Race," and "Where Do We Go
from Here?" which proposes future research directions for equal
opportunity and diversity management in the armed forces.
All of the areas explored in this accessibly written volume have
counterparts in the civilian sector. The book offers insights,
practical methodologies, and effective management guidelines for
commanders, civilian-sector executives, and human resource
practitioners responsible for equal opportunity programs and
outcomes. This is now the standard social research tool in an area
of profound practical concerns.
