Empirical Measurement Managing Diversity in an Organization: Towards the Application of Data Engineering

Abstract

In this study we explore the ever-present problem of achieving better results in the area of creating innovative and diverse human resources in an organisation through learning and inference from past actions. This approach represents the quantitative stream related to data engineering, which through the use of quantitative methods supports the decision-making process in the organisation and has a significant impact on its further development. It is therefore non-trivial to quantitatively model the relationship between the actions taken to build diverse teams in an organisation in key areas of organisational management. This is why we proposed five synthetic indicators, corresponding to particular areas of the 5P architecture. The presented approach allows visualising the realisation of the organisation’s activities in individual areas of diversity management expressed through the author’s 5P architecture. Taking into account these individual areas (P1-P5) subjected to analysis it is possible to assess the realisation of this process in the organisation in many dimensions (planning, implementation, monitoring) at the same time providing a comprehensive picture of the issue under consideration. The analyses confirm that the individual dimensions of diversity management architecture interact with each other and that the direction of this correlation is positive - the development of diversity management in different areas occurs in parallel, but nevertheless - as can be seen from the values of the correlation coefficients - at a different pace/range.
