Social identity theory
Social identity theorem stipulates that people validate their social identity by favouring their in groups at the expense of out groups
Individuals do this since they perceive that it is easier to communicate with the members of their in-group are they are more trustworthy, predictable and more likely to reciprocate favours
A shared social identity increases perceived
differences between individuals belonging to
different social categories (i.e. between in- and
out-groups)
The success of organisational diversity initiatives
is dependent upon mitigating these perceived
differences
What is Glass ceiling?
A phenomenon that limits the advancement of women and other minority groups to senior managerial positions in organisations
Overcoming the glass ceiling
- Changing societal norms around the role of women and eradicating gender bias. - Eliminating the stigmatisation of men who choose to stay home for family reasons. -Introduction of paid-parental leave schemes, especially for men that goes beyond ‘one week’ -Introducing gender quotas for company boards -Realising that a more representative blend of women and men in senior roles just makes good business sense
