Dealing with Diversity (PB)

by George B. Grean (Editor), George B. Graen (Other)

Overview

Nineteen international academics contribute eight chapters on the application of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory to allow the transformation of well intentioned affirmative action programs from their reliance on surface-level diversity to a new reliance on deep- level diversity. Coverage includes mutual selection, negotiation, and development in the workplace; the effects of diversity on leaders and team members over time; organizational and social influences on LMX; the effects of dyadic diversity of LMX and mentoring; a narrative research agenda for LMX; LMX and Transformational theory; LMX and Hofstede's cultural dimensions; and organizational citizenship behavior.
