Abstract:
The primary task of the paper is to propose a definition of the existing theoretical contributions to the term of
workforce diversity management (WDM) in order to systematize present knowledge, clearly understand the
definition of WDM in organizations and identify the gaps for future research. In this theoretical study, the
Scopus database was used for sampling. 19 studies published since 2015 were identified, and then the
selected papers were analysed according to key research definitions. Recently, the idea of diversity
management (DM) acquires a new meaning; swiftly expanding its field and circulating around the world. WDM
becomes a frequently significant part of Human Resource Management in corporations, as it helps companies
to take a sustained competitive advantage in the current globalization and innovative age (Egerova, Jiřincová,
Lančarič & Savov, 2013; Manoharan & Singal, 2017). The results of the research show that DM is perceived
by a moderate number of existing publications as a method that helps to encompass both: a favourable
corporate culture and organizational success. By assessing present studies on DM, the paper contributes to
the literature on business and management and demonstrates the potential as the scrutinised field seems to
be an attractive area for future research.
