1GENDER DISCRIMINATION AND ORGANIZATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY
The gender discrimination within an organization is known to have been influencing the
organizational productivity within the multitude of the organizations in the international markets.
The discrimination within the organization on the basis of the gender of the concerned
employee leads to the development of the organizational productivity as well as the employee
engagement within the given company. The inclusion of the female members within the
organization helps in the development of the productivity of the organization through motivating
the female employees of the organization (Khan, Davis & Taylor, 2017). The discrimination of
the organizational employees on the basis of their genders often leads to the decrease in the
motivational levels within the employees of the organization (Farrior, 2009). The various
companies that have been operating within the Australian market tend to implement a high
discrimination among the organizational workforce on the basis of their genders thereby leading
to the lack of the proper distribution of the talent within the organization (Elwér et al., 2013).
This in turn leads to the several negative effects on the overall performance of the organization.
The organizational management might be advised to deal with the lowering of the bias
among the employees within the organization thereby maintaining the proper balance within the
organization as well as motivating the employees to perform better in the achievement of the
goals that have been set by the organization (Channar, Abbassi & Ujan, 2011). The
implementation of the gender-based equality within the organization would lead to the enrich the
knowledge base of the company as well as help in the management of the required talent within
the organization and thus assist in the development of the overall performance of the
organization (Arnania-Kepuladze, 2010). The various surveys and researches on the matter
demonstrated the fact that the female members of the organization tend to demonstrate a greater
flexibility within the organisational workforce.
