Building a theory: A hotel organization's response to workforce diversity. - 102 p.

Thesis (M.M.S.)--University of Guelph (Canada), 1995.

The increasing diversity of the workforce will have a continuing impact on organizations. The literature lacks empirical research on organizational responses to diversity. The purpose of this study was to develop a grounded theory to explain one hotel organization's management of diversity and its outcomes. This purpose--building theory--dictated the inductive approach that was used in the research.

520 $a The study took place within a hotel management company. Archival data provided information about the organization's diversity related policies and training programs. A purposeful sample of employees from two hotels was interviewed about the actual outcomes of those policies and programs.
520 $a A theory of the organization's management of diversity and its outcomes could not be developed from the research results. Instead, a theory of the organization's response to diversity and its outcomes is developed and presented. Organizational culture was discovered to be a key consideration for organizations when attempting to manage diversity.
