Symposium Title Emerging Workplace Diversity Issues: Ethnicity, Bilingualism, and Workplace Exclusion
نویسنده
چکیده
Workplace conflict based on employee ethnicity is the focus of this symposium. We discuss employees' ethnic harassment experiences, exclusion due to ethnicity, and conflict based on employees' use of non-English languages in the workplace. We also present an integrative paper describing aspects of organizational climate that affect employee social cognition. PRESS PARAGRAPH With increasing workforce ethnic diversity, issues related to employee ethnic harassment and ethnic conflict have become critical to examine. This symposium focuses on four recent studies that examine such interactions. They describe employees' experiences of ethnic harassment in ethnically diverse organizations, employees' reports of conflict based on use of non-English languages in the workplace, and the negative impact resulting from exclusion from social interactions. Our final integrative paper describes the impact of an organization's intolerance of discrimination on employees' views of ambiguous events and the likelihood of their reporting discriminatory behaviors. Where appropriate, legal implications will also be described.
