- Abstract
- "This study uses a representative sample of 1,535 workplaces in Korea to examine the presence of a set of policy statements for diversity management. Hypotheses from neo-institutionalism are developed to predict the presence of a set of policy statements for diversity management across workplaces in Korea. A logistic regression model is used to test the hypotheses. The findings suggest that neo-institutional theory explains the presence of a set of policy statements for diversity management in Korea. In particular, employment laws in Korea are ambiguous, and the organizational connection to HR professionals strongly affects the presence of a set of policy statements for diversity management in Korea. This institutionalization process in Korea is similar to the US case.
