Abstract

The subject of workplace diversity came to the consideration of the academic and business world in the 1990s. “Variety is the spice of life.” Everyone would agree with the need for diversity, so the issue is not with the concept, but in how we make use of this concept at work, especially when there is polarization between people who are working together, leading to conflict and disharmony. Diversity management emphasizes valuing and building on individual differences in order for all employees to reach their maximum potential and represents an important step away from the legal compliance-oriented equal employment opportunity. Since the current literature reveals that these practices often result in backlash and that minority employees tend to feel excluded at the workplace, a necessity emerges to investigate individual level factors of LMs that may influence these processes.
