Describe the features of pluralistic organizations.
What will be an ideal response?
Pluralistic organizations have a more diverse employee population than monolithic organizations and use an affirmative action approach to managing diversity: They actively try to hire and train a diverse workforce and to avoid discrimination. They integrate groups more fully than do monolithic organizations, but like monolithic organizations they often have minority group members clustered at certain levels or in particular functions within the organization. Because of training programs and greater cultural integration, the pluralistic organization shows less prejudice and some acceptance of minority group members into the informal network. Improved employment opportunities help group members identify more strongly with the organization. Sometimes some majority group members' resentments toward women and minorities create more conflict than exists in the monolithic organization.
