Section Three: Literature sources searched
Use of key literature sources to support your research question, objective or hypothesis:
Literature Review:
As per the view point of Rice, (2015) cultural diversity means a situation in which the
companies used to hire all sort of the employee in the organization, with different backgrounds,
culture and religion. This is generally done by the organization to dispel negative stereotypes
and personal biases about the different group in the organization and promote the trust and the
respect among the different group in the organization.
Racism used to bring the variety of the conflicts in the organization. Ang and Van
Dyne, (2015) highlights that the biggest issues which is brought by the racism is the
discrimination in the organization. As the employee used to belong to the different background
and culture, as all the culture used to drive on the basis of different belief and path. This helps

the company to identify the amount of the racism in the organization and try to reduce it.
Singh, (2018)
There are many types of the obstacles which are also seen by the organization at the
time of incorporating the cultural diversity. Riccucci, (2018) highlights that the different group
on the basis of the culture are already being made in the organization it is very difficult to melt
that group and promote the awareness of working together in the organization. Lambert, (2016)
has a opinion that another challenges is misinterpreted of the professional communication by
the different cultural employee in the organization.
McCluney and et.al (2018) highlights that performing activity in team will help company in
overcoming racism challenge as employee will gel up with other employee very well. This will
reduce the impact of racism in an organization. Also, author highlights that with the help of
training organization also can prevent racism. In which all the employee should be motivated
and trained to work with different employee in an organization.
