Question

g Identify three human behavior trends found in 21st century organizations. From a management perspective, discuss why each trend is important to understand and acknowledge with regard to increased diversity in the workplace.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1- Respect for individual values

2- Greater autonomy at work

3- Greater use of social media

Globalization and new technologies have impacted the work environment in 21st century organizations. The fact that globalization has narrowed integration between countries has made the work environment multicultural, which can be seen in greater human behavior of integration, respect for the individual values ​​of each person and greater tolerance and acceptance of diversity of employees with different values ​​and cultures. This trend is essential for current companies, due to the fact that human capital is valued and the possibilities of creating an ethical organizational culture focused on development, creativity and innovation.

It is also a fact that organizational structures are becoming more flexible and less hierarchical, where each employee has more autonomy in their work and greater participation in organizational decisions. Employee autonomy in their role increases motivation and commitment to delivering more productive and innovative results for the company.

Another trend of current behavior is the use of social media, which directly interferes with the image of the organization, so it is necessary that the company's practices and policy are ethical so that the employee feels respected, valued and has a good perception of the company.
