Abstract

Discrimination has an area of concern for Human Resource Management in all workplaces and it has been a great concern in Malaysia. The purpose of this research is to analyze the demographic characteristics which trigger discrimination in workplace. It is to examine the intensity of these factors in order to develop a solution for the discrimination which is present in the workplace. The idea is to deduce the relationship between the demographic background of the employees and the biased treatment which they tend to receive at workplace from other employees or their superiors based on the similarities and differences of these demographic features. An empirical approach has been adopted in this study by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) method. Employees from various private organizations in the state of Kuala Lumpur participated in this study. Through this research, managers, top management and relevant parties are expected to identify the intensity of the factors which influence discrimination and tactfully find ways to avoid work discrimination. Furthermore, this research can also be an eye opener to employers to realize their roles and enhance how their decisions can affect their employees. The findings and conclusion of the results are further discussed in this research.
