Managing And Valuing Diversity: Challenges To Public Managers In The Twenty-First Century. Paper/Presentation, Andrew Ewoh Feb 2009

Managing And Valuing Diversity: Challenges To Public Managers In The Twenty-First Century. Paper/Presentation, Andrew Ewoh

Andrew I.E. Ewoh

Over the past three decades the need for private and public organizations to embrace diversity has been echoed. The rationale for this need is that a number of desirable positive outcomes occur when groups or work teams include diverse perspectives and value that diversity. Diversity as a new lexicon in human resource management provides immediate access to a large pool of knowledge, skills, and abilities required in the accomplishment of organizational goals and objectives. The major challenge to employers of labor is managing and valuing diversity by transforming the traditional culture of most organizations into a multicultural culture that nurtures …

The Role Of Nonprofit Organizations In Public Service Delivery: Lesson Learned From Hurricane Katrina. Paper/Presentation, Andrew Ewoh Apr 2007

The Role Of Nonprofit Organizations In Public Service Delivery: Lesson Learned From Hurricane Katrina. Paper/Presentation, Andrew Ewoh

Andrew I.E. Ewoh

When Hurricane Katrina ripped through the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005 nonprofit and community based organizations were the first responders in providing relief and recovery services to the stranded residents when emergency plans at all levels of government came up short. In fact most recent studies show that nonprofit organizations contributed successfully to the relief effort irrespective of government obstacles, and with no direction or support from government. The Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath have revealed significant weaknesses in the American federal system to deal with emergency planning and response without mutual cooperation and partnership with nonprofit organizations. On …

The Status Of The Uniform Guidelines On Employee Selection Procedures: Legal Developments And Future Prospects, Andrew Ewoh, James Guseh Dec 2000

The Status Of The Uniform Guidelines On Employee Selection Procedures: Legal Developments And Future Prospects, Andrew Ewoh, James Guseh

Andrew I.E. Ewoh

This article examines the legal status of the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures from the perspectives of judicial opinions and race-norming provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Specifically, the analysis provides a discussion of important U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions with special emphasis on their relevance for disparate impact theory. Because the 1991 Civil Rights Act has altered the selection procedures somewhat, the article offers implications of these changes for personnel managers or specialists and recommends modification of the Uniform Guidelines.

The Evolution Of An Issue: The Rise And Decline Of Affirmative Action, Euel Elliott, Andrew Ewoh May 2000

The Evolution Of An Issue: The Rise And Decline Of Affirmative Action, Euel Elliott, Andrew Ewoh

Andrew I.E. Ewoh

This article examines the development of the affirmative action issue since its inception, and compares its dynamics and evolution with the broader civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. It identifies and discusses three periods or phases of the affirmative action regime. This vein of research helps provide at least a partial explanation for why policies in related areas of civil rights may produce different outcomes, and explicates the broad resistance to key elements of the anti-discrimination effort of the last three decades. A tentative model based on the congruence of the policy stance of political institutions to public …

An Inquiry Into The Role Of Public Employees And Managers In Privatization, Andrew Ewoh Dec 1998

An Inquiry Into The Role Of Public Employees And Managers In Privatization, Andrew Ewoh

Andrew I.E. Ewoh

The contracting out of routine services and some sensitive functions has grown rapidly at every level of government in the United States. It not only has become a new method for human resource managers to provide needed public services, but it also poses new challenges for personnel management and for the training responsibilities of future public administrators. What accounts for the growth of privatization in recent years, despite strong and persistent opposition? This article suggests that the disappearance of some revenue sources accounts for the growth. Another factor is that the intellectual climate supports a shift away from public programs …
