- Surface-level diversity involves observable traits like age, sex, and race.
- Deep-level diversity includes learned characteristics such as personality and attitudes.
- Diversity management strategies like training and mentoring can reduce stereotypes and enhance organizational performance.
- Affirmative action focuses on legal equality, while diversity encompasses broader differences.
Deep-Level Diversity & Diversity Paradigms
- The Big Five personality traits (OCEAN) include: Openness to experience, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism.
- Diversity paradigms include: Discrimination & Fairness, Access & Legitimacy, and Learning & Effectiveness.
- Learning & Effectiveness paradigm integrates deep-level diversity to enhance effectiveness and collaboration.
Leadership
- Leaders focus on vision and long-term goals, while managers emphasize productivity and short-term objectives.
- Leadership theories include Trait Theory, emphasizing traits like drive and self-confidence.
- The Behavioral Approach focuses on leadership behaviors like initiating structure and consideration.
- Situational Leadership theories, like Fiedler's Contingency Theory and Hersey and Blanchard's model, adapt leadership styles to specific situations and follower readiness.
Leadership Theories (Class 24)
- Path-Goal Theory: Leaders clarify paths to goals using directive, supportive, participative, or achievement-oriented styles.
- Normative Decision Theory: Determines appropriate levels of employee participation in decision-making (autocratic, consultative, group).
- Charismatic Leadership: Focused on strong relationships with followers.
- Transformational Leadership inspires followers beyond personal interests towards group success through charisma, motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration.
Motivation and Performance (Class 25)
- Motivation is influenced by effort, ability, and situational constraints.
- Needs include lower-order needs (safety, physiological) and higher-order needs (relationships, achievement).
- Rewards are categorized as extrinsic (tangible) and intrinsic (personal satisfaction).
- Equity Theory: Employees compare input/output ratios to others; perceived inequities influence motivation.
Advanced Motivation Theories (Class 26)
- Expectancy Theory: Motivation = Valence × Expectancy × Instrumentality (where valence is the value of reward, expectancy is effort-performance link, instrumentality is performance-reward link).
- Reinforcement Theory: Behavior is shaped by consequences (positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment, extinction).
