Answer to Question 1

a

a. Correct: The four layers of diversity, as identified by Gardenswartz and Rowe (1998), and their accompanying dimensions, are as follows: personality dimension (individual differences); internal dimensions (e.g., race, gender, sexual orientation, and physical ability); external dimensions (e.g., income, education level, religion, work experience); and organizational dimensions (e.g., management status, union membership, seniority).
b. Incorrect: The organizational dimensions of cultural diversity include management status, union membership, and seniority. Education level is an external dimension of cultural diversity, not an organizational dimension.
c. Incorrect: The organizational dimensions of cultural diversity include management status, union membership, and seniority. Work experience is an external dimension of cultural diversity, not an organizational dimension.
d. Incorrect: The organizational dimensions of cultural diversity include management status, union membership, and seniority. Work experience and education level are external dimensions of cultural diversity, not organizational dimensions.
