Workplace Diversity in organizations Conceptual Framework Doctorate: Latif AbdulRidha Atyah

The research aims to contribute to the literature of managing diversity, by providing a theoretical framework for the management of diversity and its impact and results through regulation. It studies the diversity management on two levels. The first is the virtual level and the second is the deep level. The virtual level includes age, gender, race, cultural, educational and ethnicity, while the deep level includes values, attitudes, beliefs and personality traits. The researcher aims to group the most important conclusions which point out the fact that the diversity management has become a necessity and not an option, especially in the light of the global environment. By managing diversity many advantages can be achieved by the organization, notably lower costs, low labor turnover rate, greater creativity, increased productivity and staff satisfaction.
