Abstract:
Discrimination is a pervasive issue in the global business world, affecting individuals
and organizations alike. This thesis explores the relationship between discrimination
and effectiveness in international business. Theoretical frameworks and empirical
studies are reviewed to establish the impact of discrimination on the workplace,
including its effects on employee productivity and turnover rates. A survey of
employees in multinational corporations is conducted to identify the prevalence and
types of discrimination experienced by employees, as well as their perceived impact
on their work effectiveness. The study also examines the role of organizational
policies and diversity initiatives in mitigating the negative effects of discrimination.
The results of the study indicate that discrimination in the workplace has a significant
negative impact on employee effectiveness in international business. Discrimination
based on gender, race, ethnicity, and nationality were found to be particularly
prevalent in multinational corporations. The study also found that organizational
policies and diversity initiatives can have a positive impact on mitigating the negative
effects of discrimination.
