Abstract
There are two dichotomous rationales for valuing diversity in organizational contexts: the business case and the social justice case. Arguments for the business case for diversity and the social justice case are both supported by valuing philosophies. However, lacking in either of these philosophies is a human relations component that recognizes the role of relationships in achieving the intended goals. In this article, we propose that reconciling the tensions between the business case and the social justice case is contingent upon adopting an organizational strategy that includes a human relations valuing philosophy. The organizational strategy suggested reaffirms a strategic role of human resource development.
期刊介绍：
As described elsewhere, Human Resource Development Review is a theory development journal for scholars of human resource development and related disciplines. Human Resource Development Review publishes articles that make theoretical contributions on theory development, foundations of HRD, theory building methods, and integrative reviews of the relevant literature. Papers whose central focus is empirical findings, including empirical method and design are not considered for publication in Human Resource Development Review. This journal encourages submissions that provide new theoretical insights to advance our understanding of human resource development and related disciplines. Such papers may include syntheses of existing bodies of theory, new substantive theories, exploratory conceptual models, taxonomies and typology developed as foundations for theory, treatises in formal theory construction, papers on the history of theory, critique of theory that includes alternative research propositions, metatheory, and integrative literature reviews with strong theoretical implications. Papers addressing foundations of HRD might address philosophies of HRD, historical foundations, definitions of the field, conceptual organization of the field, and ethical foundations. Human Resource Development Review takes a multi-paradigm view of theory building so submissions from different paradigms are encouraged.
