Individual Solutions

Abstract

Methods of managing religion in the workplace for the individual were influenced by several different factors. The individual’s depth of belief played a key role in how they managed religious diversity in their workplace. In other words, the depth to which they followed the teachings or characteristics of their faith affected how they interacted with colleagues at work. Another factor that affected the management of religious diversity was their worldview or attitude toward life. The attitude of the organization and that of the nation or society toward diversity reflected two prominent modifiers of the individual/religious diversity management relationship. This chapter will focus on the individual; the effect of organizational and national characteristics will be dealt with in subsequent chapters.
