Individual differences represent one of the oldest research areas within psychology and serve as the 'nature' component critical for understanding human behaviour. This domain's constructs have long been applied in organizational spheres, including organizational behaviour, organizational psychology, managerial psychology, personnel psychology, leadership, and management. As a result, there exists a vast body of literature exploring the role of individual differences in organizational settings.

Free Download Infinitesimal differences: Controversies between Leibniz and his contemporaries By Goldenbaum, Ursula; Jesseph, Douglas (eds.)
2008 | 633 Pages | ISBN: 3110202166 | PDF | 3 MB
The essays offer a unified and comprehensive view of 17th century mathematical and metaphysical disputes overstatus of infinitesimals, particularly the question whether they were real or mere fictions. Leibniz's development of the calculus and his understanding of its metaphysical foundation are taken as both a point of departure and a frame of reference for the 17th century discussions of infinitesimals, that involved Hobbes, Wallis, Newton, Bernoulli, Hermann, and Nieuwentijt. Although the calculus was undoubtedly successful in mathematical practice, it remained controversial because its procedures seemed to lack an adequate metaphysical or methodological justification. The topic is also of philosophical interest, because Leibniz freely employed the language of infinitesimal quantities in the foundations of his dynamics and theory of forces. Thus, philosophical disputes over the Leibnizian science of bodies naturally involve questions about the nature of infinitesimals. The volume also includes newly discovered Leibnizian marginalia in the mathematical writings of Hobbes.

Free Download Understanding Human Differences: Multicultural Education for a Diverse America By Kent L. Koppelman
2017 | 400 Pages | ISBN: 0134044312 | PDF | 30 MB
From the Inside FlapA clear, engaging look at the issues of diversity in 21st Century America, focusing on culture, the individual, and institutions.This well-written, accessible, widely popular text uses a stimulating inquiry approach to engage students in discussion and debate around the most critical issues of diversity in America. Grounded in research from behavioral and social sciences-including education, psychology, history, sociology, biology, anthropology, women's studies, and ethnic studies-the book uses the question and answer format to bring real meaning and understanding to the topics. The book's conceptual framework focuses on culture, the individual, and institutions. The first section examines individual concerns, the second section describes the cultural/historical context, and the third section explores racism, classism, sexism, heterosexism, and ableism by addressing all three areas such as historical biases based on cultural norms, individual prejudices based on myths, misconceptions, and stereotypes about diverse groups, and how institutional discrimination advantages dominant group members and disadvantages oppressed groups. The last section focuses on changes already achieved or that need to be implemented in schools and other areas of society to create a more just society.

Free Download Alessandra De Martino, "Differences on Stage"
English | ISBN: 1443844632 | 2013 | 305 pages | PDF | 1432 KB
Differences on Stage is a collection of twelve original essays by leading international theatre critics and scholars, which aims to address the relationship between theatre and the development of political awareness through the voice of subaltern people. The book is enriched by the contributions of some of the most engaged protagonists of the stage, who, in their capacity as authors, players and directors denounce prejudice and conformism whilst allowing the marginalized sections of society to speak out. An authoritative overview of the theatre of differences, this book offers a key interpretation of contemporary society and underscores that, although theatre no longer holds a central position in our multi-media society, the theatre of marginalized spaces ironically becomes central again and regains its role as the brain and lungs of the community. Differences on Stage covers a variety of topics across a multi-cultural and geographical spectrum, and its contributions present previously unexplored connections between the discourses of theatre and anthropological, cultural and translation studies, offering new critical readings, and drawing on recent theoretical frameworks.

Free Download Khair Jahan Sogra, "The Impact of Gender Differences on the Conflict Management Styles of Managers in Bangladesh: An Analysis"
English | ISBN: 1443863270 | 2014 | 145 pages | PDF | 818 KB
This book examines the impact of gender on the choice of conflict management styles of managers in Bangladesh. It explores the influence of contextual factors, including the present socio-cultural and economic changes taking place in Bangladesh, on the choice of conflict management styles of managers in Bangladesh and the factors that might create gender differences in managerial styles. In doing so, the book includes factors such as age, education, managerial hierarchy, gender role orientation, and gender stereotyped organisational environment, as well as biological sex. The book suggests that exhibiting socially expected roles and using conflict management modes do not occur in vacuums. Both factors are intensely affected by socio-cultural expectations governed by a rigid patriarchal system, organisational processes, and the magnitude of individuals' unsatisfied needs. All these factors in various combinations affect the managerial styles of managers, and female managers imitate the well-accepted male managerial styles as a survival mechanism in the workplace. This results in no apparent gender differences in the preference of conflict management styles among managers, though the reasons for choosing a particular style may not be the same for females and males. This book also asserts that globally, organisations are steadily moving away from a mechanistic approach to a more humanistic approach, and with this changing management trend organisations have started appreciating the much -condemned 'feminine quality of relationship-orientation'. The book maintains that this gradual shift is also taking place in Bangladeshi organisations for certain jobs and organisations, and females are becoming sought-after employees. The cumulative effects of all these rapid changes transforming the socio-economic and socio-cultural expectations of the Bangladeshi population are leading to calls for urgent attention to the study of their long-term effects on patriarchy and gender relations in the workplace. This book is a step forward in that direction.

Author: Denise Hamilton
Narrator: Denise Hamilton
Denise Hamilton helps listeners unpack their preconceived notions and reimagine a world that's better than just "inclusive." Denise Hamilton has always believed in the power and promise of a word she learned as a schoolgirl: "indivisible." In her groundbreaking debut, she challenges listeners to move beyond current notions of diversity and inclusion to build communities, workplaces, and relationships that live up to that word. She urges us to reexamine long-held beliefs and habits and to dismantle hierarchies that shape our current society. If we want to repair the fraying stitches that bind us together, if we want to build a truly close-knit collective, we cannot settle for our present approach. It's time to recalibrate and identify a goal higher than inclusivity-the goal of indivisibility. As a nationally recognized DEI leader, Hamilton shares accessible, personal stories and offers self-examination questions, intentional action steps, and journal prompts. While the audiobook has a focus on business and leadership, the lessons within can transform our professional and personal lives.
