Statement of the Problem

I want to investigate the impact of proper “Diversity Management” over the organizations as a thesis for my doctoral study. The number of reports and studies detailing the lack of diversity within the organizations seem to have an underlying assumption that increasing the diversity of an organization's board or staff members would improve organizational performance or serve as the success factor. Yet unlike the growing evidence and research conducted in the business and public sectors examining the connection between organizational diversity and performance, similar research in the nonprofit sector is sparse and not well known. Oftentimes, when reading a research report on the lack of diversity within the organizations, underlying assumptions about the impact of diversity appear anecdotal or normative, without providing evidence of how diversity can impact organizations' success.

Significance of the Problem

The significance of the problem is the diversity is being defined as a person's age, gender, health and genetic (disability). This specific definition of diversity is used rather than much broader definitions of diversity which can include categories like values, personality types, etc.; for a broad discussion of the term diversity and the multiple viewpoints about how diversity should be defined. Some scholars examine the connection between diversity and performance, which evaluate the impact of diversity on outcomes. Outcomes are defined as the results an organization produces (Siliciano 1996, pp. 1313).

Research Question

How the organizations use diversity as a success factor?

For companies, this may be increased profits, and government services, greater satisfaction for taxpayers. Although data for more decisive in terms of impact on the bottom line, we would need additional research, especially about the Canadian experience, wait for empirical data could give organizations a competitive disadvantage. 

I believe that the Diversity policy implemented in modern enterprises can significantly improve communication effectiveness and impact positively on building flexible, more open attitudes and encourage the sharing of knowledge. In the conditions mentioned at the beginning of change in the labor market is very important importance of building a work environment where they feel everyone is well Members of task forces, not just their leaders. Low efficiency from members of small teams or their insufficient involvement may err on the failure of quite a large undertaking (Schmitz 2005, pp. 9). Taking care of good climate co-expressed not only by paying attention to manners and way of treatment of workers, but also by deepening desire to understand their expectations and ...
