Debate the organizational opportunities and challenges of globalization, workforce diversity, and emerging employment relationships.
Explanation
Globalization, which refers to various forms of connectivity with people in other parts of the world, has several economic and social benefits, but it may also be responsible for work intensification, reduced job security, and work-life balance. Workforce diversity is apparent at both the surface-level (observable demographic and other overt differences in people) and deep-level (differences in personalities, beliefs, values, and attitudes). There is some evidence of deep-level diversity across generational cohorts. Diversity may be a competitive advantage by improving decision making and team performance on complex tasks, yet it also brings numerous challenges such as team "faultlines," slower team performance, and interpersonal conflict. One emerging employment relationship trend is the call for more work-life balance (minimizing conflict between work and nonwork demands). Another employment trend is virtual work, particularly working from home. Working from home potentially increases employee productivity and reduces employee stress, but it may also lead to social isolation, reduced promotion opportunities, and tension in family relations.
