| Summary |
"This volume, edited by Robert Dipboye and Adrienne Colella, reflects new thinking and research in the area of workplace discrimination. It identifies a large body of research and theory on the biases that can occur in the workplace based on race, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, physical disability, and other employee characteristics such as appearance and personality. This focus here is on broadening our perspective on the entire issue and attempting to integrate disparate bodies of work." "This new book should provide readers with a clear understanding of the psychologically based workplace discrimination research. The theory, methodology, and suggested implications of this research are put forth to allow scholars and scientist-practitioners to gain a comprehensive view of the field. Much of the work in this volume discusses future directions for research on workplace discrimination."--BOOK JACKET |
