Cultural Influences in the Workplace

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at the way in which the change in the American population into a more multi-cultural place also means a change in the consumer and labor markets. Experts predict the labor market will become tighter, more female, more non-white, and more mature. The paper studies these implications on corporate culture and diversity in the workplace.

From the Paper:

"Any given society's or group's culture is that collection of attitudes and behaviors learned by people as the result of belonging to that particular society or group. Culture allows each person in the cultural group to communicate with other members in the group comfortably and efficiently. Culture is the main factor that allows us to live together in a society. It gives us ready-made solutions to our problems, helps us to predict how others will act and to conform our behavior accordingly, and it helps us to know what others expect of us (Kluckhohn & Kelly 21)."
