Changes in the demographic structure of the modern workforce and strategies for increasingly globalized business are resulting in a multitude of questions about cultural diversity and its management within organizations. "Cultural Diversity Management in Organizations" focuses on the status quo of empirical and theoretical research within the demesne of cultural diversity management, providing a topical insight into research in that field, describing the consequences of Diversity for organizations and the psychological variables targeted in cultural diversity management initiatives, and highlighting the possibility of influencing individual-level psychological variables to produce beneficial organizational outcomes.

Strategic Management of Diversity in the Workplace discusses the strategic management of ethnic and cultural diversity by taking particular examples from Australia, Canada, The United Kingdom and the United States of America, in order to determine the salient benefits that organisations could derive when ethnic and cultural differences are seen as opportunities, not as problems, and are viewed as benefits rather than threats. Strategic Management of Diversity in the Workplace provides a clear demonstration of the benefits, conflicts and challenges faced by organisations. The renewed interest in multiculturalism in academic and policy circles revives the debate about issues related to the management of ethnic diversity in society at large and in specific settings, such as corporate Australia. This book specifically focuses on this problematic area by aiming to explore the practice of management and application of multiculturalism in the workplace. This book seeks to examine post-multiculturalism in Australia and explore whether it has affected the ways in which corporate Australia deals with issues of diversity and the lessons learned here are ones that apply across the business world. Strategic Management of Diversity in the Workplace would be of interest for researchers, academics, undergraduate and postgraduate business degrees students in the fields of Strategic Human Resources Management, Cross-Cultural Management, Managing Workplace Training and Managing and Leading People.

To do this, the authors integrate research from different areas, such as literature on leadership, psychological contracts and diversity with literature on the aging workforce. Through this integration this book provides innovative ways for organizations and workers to maintain productivity, motivation and health. Aging Workers and the Employee-Employer Relationship summarizes the latest research on how employment relationships change with age and its implications for supporting the well-being, motivation and productivity of older workers. It identifies ways to improve how both companies and workers solve the problems they face. These include better designed employment practices and more adaptive job content and developmental opportunities for aging workers along with activities aging workers can engage to enhance their own job crafting, learning and employability.

Within a few years of SIOP's founding, other organizations emerged, reflecting an expanding interest in specialized areas of I-O Psychology. The American Society for Training and Development (ASTD), now known as the Association for Talent Development (ATD), was founded in 1944. It focused on the professional development of trainers and facilitators, emphasizing the need for psychological principles in training programs. This organization served as a vital resource for I-O psychologists whose work intersected with training and development. Another critical player in the post-war era was the International Association for Applied Psychology (IAAP), established in 1920 but revitalized after the war. This organization sought to promote the application of psychological principles across different cultural and organizational contexts, thereby positioning I-O Psychology on a global stage. The IAAP facilitated international research collaborations and conferences that allowed practitioners to share insights drawn from various cultural perspectives, thereby enriching the field. The establishment and growth of these professional organizations sparked a proliferation of research and scholarship in I-O Psychology. They provided the infrastructure for professional certifications and guidelines that defined competencies and ethical standards within the discipline. Among the foremost initiatives was the introduction of certification programs that validated the expertise of I-O psychologists, ensuring that practitioners met the discipline’s evolving professional standards.
