Implications for Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
Redaktion: Chan, Xi Wen; Lu, Luo; Shang, Sudong

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book addresses the most pressing and current work-life issues that are impacting Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in organisations across the Asia-Pacific. It is organised around three major themes: (1) Work-life equality and justice; (2) Technology, work, and family; and (3) Work-life values and trends in Asia, all of which will be discussed in relation to EDI.

Issues concerning the work-life interface are closely intertwined with issues relating to EDI-for example, labour market inequalities are often fuelled by the interplay of gender, race, and family circumstances. Yet, comparatively lesser attention has been given to the non-work aspects (particularly, the family context) in research on the work-life interface and contemporary EDI issues.

Breaking away from a predominantly Western perspective, this book offers fresh insights and empirical evidence, shedding light on the most urgent and critical work-life challenges faced by people in the Asia-Pacific. It also provides deep understanding of the broader social, economic, and political environments shaping work-life trends. It appeals to researchers and practitioners interested in topics related to human functioning and flourishing at work, at home, and in society.

Dr. Sudong Shang is Lecturer in the Department of Employment Relations and Human Resources at Griffith Business School, Griffith University, Australia.
