1. Introduction
This assignment seeks to examine the effect of the absence of organizational diversity direction
as well as leader attitude on the activities. The Australian workforce recruitment industry has
been known for supporting the firms which operate in Australia by providing them with services
of searching, selecting, referring, and placement of employees (IBIS World, 2016; KPMG,
2016). In this country, the problem that workforce recruitment organizations have always battled
with on daily basis is the issues of diversity. In as much as some have a notion that diversity in
the place of work is simply fulfilling the quotas that are needed for the employee gender and
race, it seems to be much more than this perception. It is worth noting that diversity in the
working environment enhances imperative values such as respect, teamwork, and acceptance
regardless of the differences in gender, age, native language, race, sexual orientation, political
beliefs, communication styles, and religion among the workers (Madera, 2013). Therefore, the
current research will investigate the association between the direction of organizational diversity
and the attitude of the leader and the activities of diversity.
This paper has been structured in five main parts, where the project justification as well
as the potential research output will be discussed in the first section. The subsequent part will
comprise the conceptual framework developed for this study. A brief research methodology will
be explained in the fourth part where the technique which will be used in the collection of the
data will be a mixed research method. The next part will outline of how the actual research will
be organized. The budgetary considerations and the schedule for the research will be provided in
the last two sections of this paper.
