Summary

Focuses on recent research results coming out of the University of Arizona. The results of the research suggested that employee involvement programs that are implemented as a way to improve efficiency (i.e., self-directed work teams) also have a tendency to improve diversity within the organization. Women and minorities were more successful and tended to have better career opportunities in organizations that offered self-directed work teams.
