Explain how the biological characteristics of religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity affect organizational behavior in the United States.
(33) VerifiedReligion: Not only do religious and nonreligious people question each other's belief systems they often are in conflict. United States federal law prohibits employers from discriminating against employees based on their religion, with very few exceptions. However, that doesn't mean it's a nonissue in organizational behavior. Nearly two million Muslims live in the United States and there is a wide variety of perspectives on Islam. Some take these general biases a step further. Research has shown that job applicants in Muslim-identified religious attire who applied for hypothetical retail jobs in the United States had shorter, more interpersonally negative interviews than applicants who did not. Religious individuals may also believe they have an obligation to express their beliefs in the workplace, and those who do not share those beliefs may object. Perhaps as a result of different perceptions of religion's role in the workplace, religious discrimination claims have been a growing source of discrimination claims in the United States.
Sexual orientation and Gender identity: Employers differ widely in their treatment of sexual orientation. Federal law does not prohibit discrimination against employees based on sexual orientation, though many states and municipalities do. In general, observers note that even in the absence of federal legislation requiring nondiscrimination, many organizations have implemented policies and procedures protecting employees on the basis of sexual orientation. More than half the Fortune 500 companies offer domestic-partner benefits for gay couples. Despite some gains, many lesbian, gay, and bisexual employees keep their gender identity from their coworkers for fear of being discriminated against. Companies are increasingly putting policies in place to govern how their organizations treat transgender employees. Dealing with transgender employees requires some special considerations, such as for bathrooms, employee names, and so on.
