Dr. Timothy Ewest on Religious Diversity in the Workplace

Dr. Timothy Ewest, associate professor of Management in the Archie W. Dunham College of Business, has contributed two chapters to the Cambridge University Press publication, “Religious Diversity in the Workplace.” The book explores how employees bring their beliefs and religious values to work, and how this can be a source of either positive performance or negative conflict. As religious identity is salient for a majority of the world’s population, it is thus an important aspect of organizations – particularly those with a large and diverse body of employees. This handbook provides a timely and necessary analysis of religious diversity in organizations, investigating the role of national context, the intersections of religion with ethnicity and gender, and approaches to diversity management.
