students response

 

Stereotyping  in the workplace is making assumption about people based on a person’s gender or culture, or is based on religious or physical attributes. Stereotyping can be either positive or negative, but they are all unfair and misleading.

Some of the possible adverse effects of stereotyping is to make a judgement about someone, which can be completely misguided and incorrect, causing someone to act differently towards the persons, which can be offensive. The saying “Do not judge the book by its cover”, demonstrates that appearance is not enough to understand who a person really is. Stereotyping can create problems in many social situations like the workplace, at school or in the local community. An example; is a female boss in the workplace, where there are group of men to be managed, the female might feel that she has to prove that she is capable to do the job, because of the negative stereotyping that suggest that women are less capable and the men might in turn assume that she is bossy and incompetent, this will create negativity for her in the company.

Human Resources Management as a arm of the organization that see to the recruiting, managing and final exit of employee at workplace is susceptible to the use of stereotyping, if regulations are not enforced. Functions of HR that Stereotyping can occur are as follows: Recruitment, Compensation, Benefit Administration, Training And Development, Performance Appraisal And Management

Recruitment: Stereotyping occur when Human Resources would rather hire  a white man who had served time in prison than a black man who had not. See Ln. 2 Pg.277 Employment Law For Business (9th ed.) NY by Bennet-Alexander D. and Hartman L. (2019)

Compensation: According to U.S. Census Bureau data, white women are paid 77 cents to every dollar paid to men, on average, for African-American women, it is 70 cents to every dollar paid to men and only 64 cents for every dollar paid to White. See Ln. 6. Pg. 277

Benefit Administration: African-American being less likely than White to receive appropriate heart medication, coronary artery, bypass surgery and kidney transplants as well as more likely to receive a lower quality of basics clinical services, such as intensive care. Study at the Institute Of Medicine found out that bias, prejudice and stereotyping. See Ln. 6, Pg. 278

Training And Development: More White in workplace are sponsored for training, while African-American are left out. Russel Sage  Foundations found that racial stereotypes and attitude heavily influenced the labor market, with blacks landing at the very bottom. See Ln. 18, Pg. 278

Appraisal And Management: The appraisal given to African-American, Hispanic in workplace are low. Example; White Bostonians surveyed, said that African-American and Hispanic are less intelligent than Whites and that African-American are harder to get along with than other ethnic group. See Ln. 17, Pg. 278

Consequences of Stereotyping at workplace is detrimental to the productivity of the organization. When people are happy to come to work, feel respected and safe, they are likely to perform better, Job Satisfaction. Stereotyping leads to harassment and discriminatory situations, the work environment becomes tainted with negativity. It separates team and stalls creative efforts, these bring about lower productivity, lack of new innovations and growth for the employer.
