• W1502597196 abstract "The topic of diversity has become increasingly important to organizations since the early 1990’s as changing workforce demographics and increased global competition have become reality (Cox, 2001; Weiner, 1997). This interest has prompted a proliferation of diversity training programs throughout the United States. The most recent industry report conducted by Training indicates that 72% of the companies responding to that survey offered some form of diversity and/or cultural awareness training (Galvin, 2002). At the same time, a variety of diversity initiatives have begun to take shape on college campuses across the country (Hurtado, Milem, Clayton-Pedersen & Allen, 1999). Included in these initiatives have been efforts to infuse diversity into the college curricula. As faculty in a leadership program, we have struggled with how to best integrate diversity issues into our curriculum to prepare our students to work in a multicultural society. Currently, we require majors to take a course that focuses on diversity issues as they relate to organizations and leadership. A segment of that course focuses on organization-based diversity initiatives. Students study the theory and practice of designing and implementing diversity endeavors. Many of the available examples involve large multinational companies with sufficient resources to apply to diversity programs. While the students find this interesting in theory, it inevitably prompts questions of what can be done in smaller companies, like the small or mid-size organizations where they are employed. They live in a mid-size midwestern city and commute to a regional campus for their education. True to adult learning principles, they typically are most engaged in the learning process when they see the relevance to their own lives. This is particularly critical when teaching a diversity course. Chan and Treacy (1996) recommend making “ the issues relevant to students’ own experiences and lives” (p. 220). Since the majority of our students will stay and work in this community after graduation, they want to know how diversity initiatives are being designed and implemented in companies in the vicinity. This research project developed for two major reasons. First, to investigate local organizations’ training practices to better inform our students. Second, to build on the current research examining diversity training programs. Very little empirical research has been conducted on diversity training, and most of the existing studies focus on large, multinational organizations. This exploratory research project examines the diversity training efforts of six organizations located in a mid-size midwestern city." @default.
