Assignment : Discussion-Individual Differences
After addressing the questions in M5: Assignment
Continue to consider how individual differences, beyond mere ethics, might influence organizational outcomes. No two individuals are alike. In addition to differences such as ethnicity, race, age, and gender, there are a multitude of additional diverse characteristics that set people apart.
While there is great opportunity for such differences to negatively affect an organization, there are arguably great opportunities for them to positively affect an organization as well.
Consider the aforementioned aspects, research the impact of individual differences on organizations. Then, respond to the following:
• Explain how individual differences might be synergistic to organizational behavior.
• Describe how various components of diversity contribute to the synergy.
Be sure to include more components of diversity than simply race, ethnicity, and gender. Give reasons and examples, supported with appropriate academic literature, when developing your responses. Be sure to cite to APA writing standards for paraphrases and direct quotes.
