level and participation in decision making

factors to consider.

performance and behaviors, as well as the probability conflict, which is applicable to this

article.

Article 3 Identity Theory and Social Identity Theory

Summary of the article

This article discusses the negative and unequal implications of community favoritism. This

theory explains why an individual’s experienced is valued less than that of a group. People

also make conclusions based on group or category rather than individual characteristics.

Typically, the social identity theory’s subgroups are based on race, color, and social status.

This discrimination creates an inequitable atmosphere because leaders can make assumptions

about success or career goals based on group’s race. Inequities can manifest themselves in a

variety of the ways. “One way that organizations produce disparity is by paying different

groups of workers significantly different wages, benefits, and levels of independence and

autonomy inside employment”.

Purpose of the article in PA

It is possible to have issue in the case study when Gilman gives Richelle a role without

considering her point of view or aspirations, and lacks the understanding of how to work with

people from various backgrounds. It explains that the perception of an individual is less

valued than the perception of the group which is related to this article.
Article 4 Workforce Diversity and Individual differences: Implication for employee

management.

The purpose of this article is to show how employee management can benefit from

understanding individual differences in workplace that are caused by workforce diversity.

Human resource managers should be mindful of and recognize organizational disparities as a

result of individual differences in the workplace. Every individual’s personality is distinct

Purpose of the article in PA
