Cindy Lindsay (California School of Professional Psychology, Alhambra, California, USA)

Journal of Organizational Change Management

ISSN: 0953-4814

Publication date: 1 December 1994

Abstract

The experimental and potentially conflictual nature of diversity training is explained as integral to creation of effective organizational discourse and change in diversity. More effective understanding and management of these conflicts is needed. To explore how conflicts can be better understood and managed, explains patterns of US minority and majority ethnic identity developments; presents three hypothetical combinations of identity development paths across ethnic group members in multi‐cultural training; discusses potential problems, change issues and training needs.
