A STUDY OF GENDER DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

INTRODUCTION

Gender Diversity” is a term, which emphasizes on giving equal importance to both men and
women in the workplace. Also referred to as “Gender Equality”, incorporating this work
culture in organizations will be an add-on to the company’s bottom line results. Many
organizations though adopt latest technology and innovative processes to manage teams, yet
one area that may be overlooked by them, is creating the gender inequity. Focusing on this
specific aspect is rather quite essential, as the productivity and effectiveness relies on
treatment which company gives to their employees.

Humans are always different from each other on the basis of different attributes and skills.
Managing the humans is also an art. Diversity is a sprouting notion. Diversity is that people
are different due to race, gender, physical and mental skills, religion, work and family
standards, appearances, origins, sexual orientation and cultural orientation. Every person is
made uniquely and he/she is recognized by different attributes. Managing diversity is a big
challenge for organizations, especially managing gender diversity in top management team
of organization. Heterogeneous groups provide diversity advantages such as innovation and
formulating new ideas

Workplace diversity does not mean only to bring the different workforce to an organization.
It is to bring diversified talent to the organization. Due to social and gender diversity group
members will have expectation and belief that different people have different perspectives
among the group and through this people will learn how to change their behaviours with
Other members of group/team. Supporters of a group which is homogenous will have the

A STUDY OF GENDER DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
collateral to some extent that they will reach to agreement with each other, they will easily
understand the beliefs and perspectives of one another and it will lead them to one single
decision.

But when members of a group notice that they are socially different from one
another, they change their expectations. They anticipate differences of opinion and
perspective. They assume they will need to work harder to come to a consensus. This logic
helps to explain both the upside and the downside of social diversity, People work harder in
diverse environments both cognitively and socially. They might not like it, but the hard work
can lead to better outcomes.

Literature Review

The South African legal and best practice framework of board duties and the King III Report
(“Duties of directors,” 2011) concur with Adams, Hermalin & Weisbach (2010) that
directors’ duties are mainly: to serve as advisors to the CEO and top management; set
strategy; assess management performance; guide the appointment and retrenchment of
executive managers and promote the interests of shareholders. Within this mandate, we
examine the theory and existing literature to determine which dimensions of diversity could
contribute to effective board operation and superior Dairies financial performance.
Hafsi and Turgut state that “the precise meaning of boardroom diversity is still unclear”
(2013:463). They define two constructs of board diversity; namely structural diversity
amongst different boards; and demographic diversity within boards. Diversity amongst
boards refers to dissimilarities in board characteristics; for example “size, leadership
structure (duality of chairman and CEO), founder leader as director, the presence and
number of international directors, nature and operations of board committees, board
independence, director ownership, director tenure,and director compensation” (Hafsi &
Turgut, 2013:464). Diversity within boards refers to dissimilarities between directors and
has been categorised between directly observable (demographic) and less visible (cognitive)
dimensions (Erhardt, Werbel & Shrader, 2003; Mahadeo Soobaroyen & Hanuman, 2012;
Marimuthu, 2008). Definitions of demographic dimensions include
Gender , age and ethnicity for example, whilst cognitive dimensions include educational
Background and political ideology. Listed below in
Table 1, in descending order of frequency of mention, are the accumulated dimensions of
Diversity gleaned from the literature:
Theory Referenced in
Agency theory linked to board

S.V.P.M’S INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, MALEGAON (BK)


A STUDY OF GENDER DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

2.1 Agency theory


A recent paper commented on the value of diversity amongst directors and indicated that
“the positive relationship between board diversity and financial performance is predicted by
both agency theory and resource dependence theory” (Nguyen, Locke & Reddy 2012:5).
Hafsi and Turgut (2013:464) state that “Agency theory has emphasized the board’s control
function, and prescribed in particular both independence of the board from management and
leadership structure duality or separation of the functions of CEO and chairman of the
board”. Bryant and Davis (2012) describe agency theory along the following lines: because
an organisation’s representatives or agents, for instance its management, act on behalf of the
organisation, and because agents’ interests are never fully aligned with those of the
organisation, agents would experience conflicts of interest in some situations and would act
in their own self interest unless controlled or incentivised to act in line with those of the
organisation. Fiduciary functions have been introduced by organisations to counter the
effects of misaligned interests. Agency theory substantiates the argument for board
independence to “reduce the likelihood that the agenda and initiatives will be dominated by
the CEO” (Kim et al., 2013:223). Diversity within boards can be seen as a way of increasing
board independence and ensuring a broad base of balanced interests, resulting in improved
control and alignment of interests.
2.2 Resource dependency theory
Nguyen et al. (2012) describe resource dependency theory as an association between board
constructs (such as size and diversity) and the “security of firms’ vital resources”, including
aspects such as the firms’ “prestige and legitimacy” (Nguyen et al., 2012:5). Bryant and
Davis (2012) point out that resource dependency theory asserts that organisations act in
ways relevant to their dependence on certain resources. Organisations respond to cues from
their external environment I n order to reduce their dependence on, and maintain
independence over relevant resources. Organisations that cope better with uncertainty and
are able to reduce uncertainty for their stakeholders and which have control over scarce

S.V.P.M’S INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, MALEGAON (BK)


A STUDY OF GENDER DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
resources and the substitutability of their controlled resources, have a competitive
advantage. Expanding this view, Hafsi and Turgut (2013:464) state that in terms of board
Composition , “diversity is desired by customers and other stakeholders for whom it is a
demonstration of management sensitivity to stakeholders’ preferences, aspirations, and
Concerns”. Bryant and Davis (2012) indicate that more diverse boards would have better
access to information and networks to assist with achieving organisational goals in terms of
the resource dependency theory by increasing “the ability to cope with uncertainty and
minimize uncertainty” (2012:6).
2.3 Human capital theory
Carter et al. (2010) summarise human capital theory as an organisation’s view and utilisation
of employees’ experience, skills and education for its benefit. When diversity within boards
Increases, directors “having unique human capital” (Carter et al., 2010:398) increase,
because different individuals have different human capital attributes. Increased diversity
within boards is therefore seen as a way to increase the range of unique human capital
aspects represented, leadingto enhanced decision- making abilities and greater innovation
(Hafsi & Turgut, 2013).

LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

1) The perceived Gender Diversity remains a difficult variable and concept to measure
and understand within certain contexts. This is mainly because different researchers use
different concepts to measure the balance.
2) Apart from this the domain of life of an individual remains the most difficult variable
to measure. The study is restricted to understand the perceptions of gender diversity of
employee in Dairies.
3) The study is also restricted only to Schreiber Dynamix Dairies Pvt. Ltd. Baramati, Dist.
Pune”.The study findings cannot be generalized as the characteristics and work culture
of Dairies could be different from employee to employee at the same level in the
different parts of the Baramati.

SUGGESTIONS

Organizations are now realizing that many of the immerging aspects which affect gender
diversity at work place. Family management is necessary for both mother and father. So
workplace policies are beginning to change. Many organizations have introduced flexible
work hours for men and women. Likelihood of career growth for females will also improve
with the passage of time.
1) Mentoring is also necessary part for women career advancement. Organizations
provide such trainings and activities especially to women to enhance their skills.
2) Organizations should developed social networking so that females can meet to other
organizations females and share their knowledge.
3) Success of organization lies in addressing such perceptions. Women have reached
now to top positions of many organizations but still there is a less number of them to
be seen at top positions. Still there is an inequality when there is the matter of
salaries, promotions, entering special fields.
4) Women should show extraordinary performance that if they are competed with their
men workers, then they should have same skills and abilities to perform all tasks.
5) Organizations should revise their gender specific policies according to concerns of
both genders. Proper implementation of policies should be done and continuous
monitoring is needed to overcome such issues.
6) Need to hire educated female partners like 12th+ and ITI.
7) Must give Training & make them feel safe in night shift e.g. Self Defense Trainning.
8) Must provide bus facility near to their home in night shift.

non-technically qualified candidates are deployed in the responsible positions.

9) Most of the employees are not satisfied with provided payment. So employees are unable
to solve family issues. It is suggested to have good payment structure and reward schemes in
the organization.
10) Now -a –days’ time management has become issue of concern. Most of the female
employees are not able to attend their personal & work time balance. So employees face this
kind problem where they get stuck in work on the day of personal family commitments. So
Organization should give training to the Contractual employees on time management.

A STUDY OF GENDER DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

While doing summer internship project work I have chosen a topic on “A study
of Gender Diversity & Inclusion”. While doing this project I have visited employees of
Schreiber Dynamix, Baramati with a questionnaire related to concern topic. While surveying
I have collected a questionnaire from 50 employees & analyzed that there is need to gender
diversity of the employee in the organization .So we have to be concluded that balance
gender at individual level and at organizational level need to be implemented very
effectively these days. The Gender Diversity of the employees need to be assessed
efficiently and regularly in order to improve and enhance the employee’s Gender balance.
Indicators of success and failure need to be established by individual and finding solutions
over these problems to be done. It also need to be explored to a greater extent to determine
what changes are needed successfully adopt gender diversity and to establish more clearly
the hidden practices that hinder the implementation.
In the end, the project require a complete support from the organization & I
received it in very professional manner in Schreiber Dynamix it means that due to such
support from the organization I was able to achieve the objectives set by me before starting
my project.
