 A study on the rationale for the practice of diversity and inclusion in the workplace (an empirical research in the North East Indian context)Pankaj Kumar Sharma, Shazeed Ahmed and Dipankar Malakar International Journal of Indian Culture and Business Management, 2025, vol. 35, issue 2, 234-252 Abstract: The policy of promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace is a prominent area in organisation management. The study is an attempt to know how executives perceive the practice of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The study was exploratory by nature and was carried out in two stages with samples of 515 respondents and 232 respondents respectively using attitudinal statements. The study used a convenience sampling technique. Data was processed using logistic regression. The outcome of the study suggests that diversity and inclusion were viewed to lead companies to be customers oriented, motivate employees to work in a team, ensure satisfaction in the jobs performed and develop a sense of equity and due recognition. However, the policy was not viewed to help organisations to earn significant profits or promote creativity among employees in work. Managers can take inputs to manage the perception of executives for the benefit of organisations. Keywords: workplace; inclusion; perceptual; communality; innovations; diversity.
