Abstract:
I have worked on “DETERMINING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AN INTEGRATED
DIVERSE WORKFORCE ON THE SATISFACTION AND RETENTION OF EMPLOYEES” for
my thesis of MBA.
The sample size of my questionnaire was 50 I had chosen 5 different
organizations and in all I chose 25 employees and 25 employers from
these 5 organizations. The distributed questionnaires results were
tallied and interpreted through pie charts as well as those questions
which had likert scales were interpreted through weighted mean and its
ranking scale.
After which it has been concluded that indeed integration of diverse
workforce in terms of gender and cultural background has a positive
effect and helps in the retention and motivation of the employees.
Even though this concept has not been widely observed in the Pakistani
firms but still the employees and some employers seem aware of the
importance of integrating diversity at workplace.
From the findings of my research the managers and supervisors have
been advised to make sure that the employees who belong to different
cultures and are women should be made welcome in the office. Managers
should make sure that women applicants and applicants from different
cultural backgrounds are invited to apply for the job. And also that
when a new employee is hired, the management and supervisors should
not only explain job responsibilities and expectations clearly, but
orient the person to the department culture and unwritten rules as
well.
