Eradicating employment discrimination: toward a cultural values perspective

Abstract

The article offers the author's insights on the paper by A. Lindsey and colleagues regarding the reduction of discrimination in employment. The author argues that the paper failed to provide a model by which diversity can be discussed and addressed. He discusses the cultural mosaic theory which states that shared cultural identities arise from interpersonal interactions and self. He cites some applications of the cultural values concept such as in employee recruitment, inclusion, and retention.
