Diversity Congruency Within Organizations: The Relationship Among Emotional Intelligence, Personality Structure, Ethnic Identity, Organizational Context And Perceptions Of Organizational Diversity, David Hurlic

Theses and Dissertations

This study explores the relationship among Emotional Intelligence (EI) (consisting of perception and appraisal, facilitating thinking, understanding emotions, and regulating emotions), Personality Structure (FFM) (consisting of extroversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experiences), Ethnic Identity, Organizational Context (OC), and Perceptions of Organizational Diversity.

The Relationship Of Religious Self-Identification To Cultural Adaptation Among Iranian Immigrants And First Generation Iranians, Nazanin Saghafi

Theses and Dissertations

This causal-comparative study examined if Iranian or Iranian Americans of either Islamic or Jewish religious self-identifications significantly differ in their reported level of cultural adaptation as evidenced by level of acculturation and the degree of acculturative stress, after controlling for the influence of years of residence in the United States. To conduct this investigation, 107 participants were administered the Cultural Lifestyle Inventory (Mendoza, 1989), which was adapted for use with members of the Iranian culture (Ghaffarian, 1998), and the Kerendi-Kadkhoda Acculturative Stress Scale (Kerendi, 1998). The results of the MANCOVA indicate that religious identification does significantly influence cultural adaptation. Participants …
