It presents critical perspectives that not only elevate respect for differences but also provide insights into the nature and dynamics of differences in view of an inclusive and truly participative organizational environment. The book first presents a brief overview of the connotations associated with workplace diversity and its effective management. Next, it focuses on the organizational appropriation of differences through the formation and mediation of various diversity discourses. It demonstrates the particular articulations of these discourses with inequality and oppressive structures that perpetuate structural disadvantage due to existing power disparity between dominant and unprivileged group members. The book then goes on to underscore the need of constructing relational and context-sensitive diversity management frameworks. Overall, the book outlines that current business cases for diversity focus solely on instrumental goals and tangible outcomes and, as a result, fail to fully capture the complexity as well as the particularity of the diversity phenomenon. The book underlines the necessity for a more inclusive paradigm, implying a progressive problem-shift in the dominant diversity research agenda from a market-driven business-oriented diversity management to one highly valuing, affirming, and respecting otherness. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Psychology,$x2192-8363 606 $aIndustrial psychology 606 $aEconomic sociology 606 $aPersonnel management 606 $aIndustrial and Organizational Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20030 606 $aOrganizational Studies, Economic Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22020 606 $aHuman Resource Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/517000 615 0$aIndustrial psychology. 615 0$aEconomic sociology. 615 0$aPersonnel management. 615 14$aIndustrial and Organizational Psychology. 615 24$aOrganizational Studies, Economic Sociology. 615 24$aHuman Resource Management. 676 $a150 676 $a158.7 676 $a306.3 676 $a658.3 700 $aGotsis$b George$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0868569 702 $aKortezi$b Zoe$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910304131503321 996 $aCritical Studies in Diversity Management Literature$91938818 997 $aUNINA
