the career development of minority culture members

members of majority and minority cultures

on their work or personal characteristics

pattern of behavior of another person or social system -2 types of change:

their subordinates, their workers whether they accept the changer, otherwise, this kind
of top-down change is not successful
+ Bottom-up change: The initiatives for change come from any and all parts of the
organization, not just top management

The change is initiated from the lower-level in organization, from any employees who
have the ideas, suggest that idea to the organization and then the change happens from any levels

involvement, employee participation -
