Results indicated the prevalence of gender and category (racial) discrimination in Indian organizations. Male employees rated female employees less qualified, less competent, and less productive than females rated themselves. General category employees perceived that minority and socially disadvantaged employees were less competent and productive. Almost all employees believed that minority, socially disadvantaged, and disabled employees were provided with comparatively less organizational support in terms of working facilities, promotions, and salary increases. Even females of the general category believed that they had less chance of receiving working facilities, promotions, and salary increases than males from the general category. Further, each category of employees believed themselves to be more important than others. Females from all the categories valued diversity more highly than males. Females from the general category and both males and females from minority, disabled, and socially disadvantaged categories placed higher value on employers\u2019 efforts to promote diversity compared with general category males.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/02635570310470610","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,5,28]],"date-time":"2003-05-28T21:05:43Z","timestamp":1054155943000},"page":"215-226","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":52,"title":["Workforce diversity status: a study of employees\u2019 reactions"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"103","author":[{"given":"Subhash C.","family":"Kundu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022012119564217300_B1","unstructured":"Adler, N.J.
