DIVERSITY

2. INTRODUCTION
People who are different and have varied
attitudes, desires, ambitions, beliefs, and work
habits make up todays workforce which is
becoming more diversity in terms of gender,
color, ethnicity and national origin.

3. CONCEPT OF DIVERSITY
Acceptance and respect are two aspects of the
notion of diversity. It involves understanding
and respecting the reality that each individual is
unique. These inequalities may be based on race,
age, status, financial status, physical ability,
religious beliefs and other variables.

4. Diversity is critical topic that must be well
understood. Thomas R. Roosevelt was among
the first to draw attention to diversity
management. Diversity is a general issue for
businesses, and as such, it must be managed
with caution.

5. VAN KNIPPENBERG AND SCHIPPERS (2007)
Diversity is a social grouping (i.e. a group,
organization or society) characteristics that reflects
the degree to which there are objective or subjective
differences between people within the group without
assuming that group members are necessarily aware
of objective differences or that subjective differences
are strongly related to more objective differences.

6. CARELL (2006)
Age, gender, ethnicity, education, religion and culture
are some of the ways that individuals vary that may
influence a job or relationship inside an organization.
It is the investigation of these disparities in a secure,
pleasant and caring setting. It is about getting to
know one another and going beyond mere tolerance
to embrace and celebrate the rich aspect of variety
that each person inside the company has.

7. KIM, B.Y. (2006)
Diversity may be defined as the wide range of
differences that distinguishes an organizations people
resources. This multidimensional perspective of
diversity implies that people vary on a variety of aspects.
While certain characteristics9such as color and gender)
are clearly apparent, others are less (i.e. values,
personality, education, experience, sexual orientation
and religion).

8. SONI AND VIDU (2000)
Workforce diversity is a differences
between individuals based on gender,
race/ethnicity, age, religion, physical
or mental impairment, sexual
orientation and socioeconomic status.

9. WENTLING AND PALMA RIVAS(2000)
Diversity is the coexistence of workers from different
socio cultural origins inside the business. Cultural
characteristics such as race, gender, age, color,
physical ability, ethnicity and so on are examples of
diversity. Age, national origin, religion, handicap,
sexual orientation, values, ethnic culture, education,
language, life style, belief, physical appearance and
economic position are all example of variety.

10. JEHN, NORTCRAFT AND NEALE(1999)
Diversity is the degree to which a
workgroup or organization is diverse in
terms of personal and functional
characteristics.

11. KUNDU AND TURAN (1999)
Diversity refers to the cohabitation of
individuals from different socio-cultural
backgrounds inside a business. Cultural
characteristics such as race, gender, age, color,
physical ability, ethnicity and so on are
examples of diversity.

12. GRIGGS (1995)
Variety comprises all of the ways in which
individuals vary, as well as all of the various
traits that distinguish one person or group
from another. It is all inclusive and
acknowledges everyone and every group as
valuable contributors to diversity.
