employee motivation, leadership, group behavior and team-work, power and politics within the
organization, and organizational change and stress management as well. Organizational behavior

Week 2: Diversity and Job satisfaction
In the second week, the concept of diversity and job satisfaction is discussed. There are
mainly two type of diversity in our organization. The first one is surface level and the second one
is deep-level diversity. Surface level diversity is mainly concentrates on the gender, age,
ethnicity, and it is perceived easily. The thinking is not reflected in the management’s thinking or
feeling but it may turn on some specific stereotypes. On the other hand, the concept of deep level
diversity shows differences in personality, values and work preferences. These things become
more important for fixing the similarity among the employees. In our organization, the diversity
is mainly buried into the facts of age, disability, ethnicity and race. Although, in our
organization, the multicultural practice is encouraged. However, it is often seen that, the newer
employees do not get all the facilities like the older employees. Along with this, the pure

can be negative or positive. Positive affect can create a mood dimension that is associated with
the emotions like excitement, joyfulness, cheerful behavior and on the other hand, the negative
affect is attached with factors like boredom, tiredness, stress, anxiety to the work, nervousness
about the work. In our organization, the both type of emotion is present among the workers. By
the understanding of the Affective events theory, it is seen that the emotions and moods are
