,Lecture 1: Diversity Gender and Diversity in Organizations

Introduction

- Timely topic; political and controversial
- Links to social justice, discrimination, social inequalities
- Also strong managerial relevance: possible source of business advantage
- In Business Administration since the 1990s, US heritage
- Changing discourse: from AA – EO – DM - D&I
AA? Equal Opportunities – Diversity Management – Diversity and Inclusion
- Key challenge for leaders and for HRM

Business motives

What is diversity?
We identify three main uses of the term:

A. as a descriptor of the workforce; social group-based and therefore collective – gender,
race/ethnicity, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation – to individual characteristics,
including qualifications, lifestyle, personality personal interests, talents and competences,
values and beliefs, and many others.
B. as a policy approach to managing the workforce; about the nature of the equality project,
what needs to be done, why and how
C. as a theoretical paradigm highlighting the significance of socio-bio-demographic differences;
diversity shifts towards ideas of human difference and away from the more familiar and
conventional ideas of human sameness reflected in the traditional equality paradigm

Growing stakes in diversity

- Changing composition of the work force
- Towards a service economy: legitimacy to customers
- Talent intensive organizations: gold collar workers, using all talent available
- Diversity improves business performance

Concept diversity

- small definition:
o center stage for social categories
o gender, race/ethnicity, class, (and age, sexual orientation, disability)
o intersections of identity categories
o roots in equality theories
- broad definition:
o individual focus
o all possible differences
o roots in differentiation theories
o link with meritocracy

Central notions

- Race and ethnicity
- Gender

, - Social constructions
- Power-laden

Concept identity

- Paradox of diversity: simultaneous centrality for group and individual
- Underlying notion of identity: who am I at work?
- Self-identification and identification by others
identity can be imposed (ascribed by others) and consciously assumed (achieved by self-
identification)
- Multilevel identities (individual-group-organization-society)
Jenkins (2004: 17) suggests that the world as constructed and experienced by humans can be
best understood as three distinct ‘orders’:
o ‘the individual order’ is the human world as made up of embodied individuals, and
what-goes-on- in-their-heads’; this ‘order’ helps us to think about and explain why
people make the career
o ‘the interactive order is the human world as constituted in relationships between
individuals, in ‘what-goes-on-between-people’; this level of analysis focuses us on the
relational, interactive aspects of working life and the way that these influence
careers;
o ‘the institutional order’ is the human world of pattern and organization, of established-
ways-of-doing-things’; this helps to shift our attention away from career decision
making at a purely individual level and highlights the wider context in which individuals
operate.
- Multiple identities intersect: intersectionality of gender, race and class, age and sexual
orientation



Social theory foundations

- Social construction of inequality
- Mutual influence of structure and agency
- Relevance of structure: do structures determine positions, rendering people structural
dopes? (Neo-classical economics) employment outcomes simply reflect a combination of
individual merit, preferences and choices. Which leads to patterns of inequality. Another
argument is that inequalities exist because the capitalist system of production is based on the
principles of market competition, which inherently creates winners and losers in order to
provide sources of cheap labour.
- Relevance of agency: do actions determine positions: blaming the victim for their own
inequalities? (sociological explanation) employment discrimination and patterns of inequality
do not simply happen; they occur because of the actions of organizations and individuals and
therefore are not inevitable or insurmountable. From this point of view, policy making can
make a difference

Critical diversity studies

- Broad variety of theoretical frameworks
- Key goals: contest instrumental view of differences, better understanding power relations,
contribute to transforming inequalities
- Historical overview of development of diversity research:
