The CEO's Moral Values and Leadership Strategies for Managing Diversity

Abstract

This study provides insights into the interconnections between a CEO's moral values and leadership strategies for managing an organization's diverse workforce. Using interviews and surveys, the authors collected data from 15 participants from a high-tech organization in the security industry in Senegal, West Africa. SPSS descriptive statistical analysis to analyze the survey data and NVivo coding methods for the interview data led to the exploration and discovery of the themes. In this chapter, the authors examined the theme 'CEO's moral values,' which aligns with the research question 'How do CEOs' moral values contribute to workplace diversity management?' The findings show that CEOs' moral values affect diversity management, influencing the interconnection between CEOs' moral values and leadership strategies for managing diversity. The study contributes to the literature by examining a novel context, the CEO's moral values, and diversity management in changing, uncertain environments.
