For that, a quantitative methodology was adopted regarding the approach, being descriptive regarding the objectives. The multivariate statistical technique used for data analysis was multiple linear regression. The sample was composed of 127 countries from secondary data, extracted from the indexes: World Economic Forum and Social Progress Imperative.

As intersecções da diversidade: um olhar sobre a interação entre gênero e origem étnico-racial

“…Nas últimas décadas, a diversidade tem se tornado uma temática importante no debate acadêmico, especialmente nos estudos organizacionais, nas relações de trabalho e na gestão de pessoas (Gemelli;Fraga;Prestes, 2019). Enquanto algumas reflexões críticas abordam a desigualdade, as diferenças e o preconceito (Franco et al, 2017;Felix;Mello;Borell, 2018;Pompeu;Souza, 2019), há também um considerável discurso sobre práticas de gestão empresarial, relacionado à produtividade, criatividade e inovação (Irigaray;Freitas, 2013;Martinez, 2016;Beckhauser;Gomes, 2019). No âmbito organizacional, o esforço reside em evitar a reprodução de privilégios e desigualdades com base nas diferenças no acesso a oportunidades de trabalho.…”
