Gender and Generational Diversity Issues
Question Description
I’m working on a psychology discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
A. Gender Diversity
Caitlyn Jenner and others have brought gender identity and transgender rights to the fore in the national media in recent years. In 2016 the state of North Carolina passed a controversial restroom law that received national attention, resulting in boycotts and an eventual “compromise bill” in early 2017 after repeal of the law. Review the Ruggs et al. and APA articles linked in Resources, then address the following:
If you were an I/O psychologist for a large organization, how would you deal with an employee planning to transition to the opposite sex in the next few months?
B. Generational Diversity
- Older Americans are healthier, living longer, and postponing retirement, increasing the generational diversity in the workplace. The United States is also becoming more culturally diverse.
What are the implications of these diversity trends for leading and motivating workers in organizations?
How are these workers motivated differently?
What might a training strategy for a leader in motivating a diverse workforce look like?
