Diversity management in an organization

The purpose and method by which businesses integrate diversity management in the workplace were investigated by Ravazzani (2016).
The research's design, methodology, and strategy emphasized inclusion, diversion, and equality.
Existing typologies were employed to illustrate organizational viewpoints on diversity management.
The study included indicators that are used in practice and indicated potential auxiliary factors (Ravazzani, 2016).
Additionally, it included information from two focus groups and a poll of 90 businesses.
The study's findings helped researchers better grasp how to handle workplace diversity.
The study used Italian businesses that prioritize fulfilling social expectations as their subjects (Ravazzani, 2016).
Pressures from isomorphism influence social expectations.
The main focus of the social expectations is to secure legitimacy in the environment (Ravazzani, 2016).

The findings also indicate that the Italian companies understand and practice diversity management

There is an inclusion of compliance as well as opportunity oriented tasks

There is also interplay between voluntarism and coercion which reflects the priorities and perspectives of the locals (Ravazzani, 2016).

This research study adds value to the topic by discussing how companies can appropriately approach diversity management

It addresses the insufficiency of other studies by linking the approaches of managing diversity with various interventions of the management and other contextual factors (Ravazzani, 2016).

The research model is able to connect practice driven aspects and approaches

The explanatory factors depict both predictive and descriptive potential though they need to be contextualized according to specific settings being investigated (Ravazzani, 2016).

The study is able to fill a research gap in Italy where most research studies mostly focus on gender issues and qualitative approaches.

The research implications from the study are significant and can be applied by other practitioners and scholars in other countries (Ravazzani, 2016).
