Workforce diversity is an inevitable phenomenon of the day. Diversity management<br />is then developed in response to this reality. The discourse has been widely<br />implemented in many western countries and some other countries across the<br />world. Yet, it does not sound loudly in the Muslim countries. The objective of this<br />paper is to discover Islamic perspective of workforce diversity management. The<br />results show that pluralism and multiculturalism values are strongly promoted in<br />Islamic teaching. Although, some conceptual problems regarding conservative<br />views on diversity might constrain diversity workforce management, but a strategic<br />solution to this issue is not impossible. This paper basically favors the idea of<br />implementing the Lewin-Schein change model (i.e., unfreezing – change [moving]<br />– refreezing) for managing diversity in the Muslim society context but with a<br />more focus given to the substantive aspects of diversity management (i.e., elaborating<br />Islamic values on diversity). The role of such qualified Islamic scholars is<br />crucial in this regard.<br />Keragaman sumber daya manusia di tempat kerja adalah sebuah fenomena yang<br />tidak terhindarkan dewasa ini. Karena itu, mengelola keragaman secara professional<br />adalah sebuah keniscayaan. Meskipun diskursus tentang pengelolaan<br />keragaman di tempat kerja bukanlah hal yang baru di dunia Barat, namun di<br />negara-negara berpenduduk mayoritas muslim praktik dan wacana tentang hal tersebut masih kurang mendapatkan perhatian. Paper ini bertujuan untuk<br />menawarkan konsep manajemen keragaman di tempat kerja dalam perspektif<br />Islam. Paper ini menggarisbawahi bahwa multikulturalisme sesungguhnya memiliki<br />tempat yang signifikan dala ajaran Islam. Kendati ada ada persoalan konseptual<br />berkaitan pandangan-pandangan konservatif tentang pluralism dan<br />mulrikulturalisme, yang nota bene dapat menghambat efektivitas manajemen<br />keragaman di dunia Islam, namun persoalan ini bukan tidak dapat dipecahkan.<br />Paper ini berpendapat bahwa framework yang ditawarkan oleh Lewin-Schein<br />tentang pengelolaan keragaman dapat diadaptasi dalam konteks dunia Islam<br />dengan mengelaborasi konsep-konsep ajaran Islam tentang keragaman.

This paper presents the case of psychology from a perspective not widely recognized by the West, namely, the Egyptian, Arab, and Islamic perspective. It discusses the introduction and development of psychology in this part of the world. Whenever such efforts are evaluated, six problems become apparent: (1) the one-way interaction with Western psychology; (2) the intellectual dependency; (3) the remote relationship with national heritage; (4) its irrelevance to cultural and social realities; (5) the inhibition of creativity; and (6) the loss of professional identity. Nevertheless, some major achievements are emphasized, and a four-facet look into the 21st century is proposed.

What is the perception of Turkish migrants in elderly care? The increasing number of elder migrants within the German and Austrian population is causing the challenge of including them in an adequate (culturally sensitive) way into the German/Austrian health care system. Here I introduce the perception of elder Turkish migrants within the predominant paradigm of intercultural opening of health care in Germany as well as within the concept of diversity management of health care in Vienna (Austria). The qualitative investigation follows a field research in different German and Austrian cities within the last four years and an analysis based on the Grounded Theory Methodology. The meaning of intercultural opening on the one hand, and diversity management on the other hand with respect to elderly care will be evaluated. Whereas the intercultural opening directly demands a reduction of barriers to access institutional elderly care the concept of diversity is hardly successful in the inclusion of migrants into elderly care assistance – concerning both, migrants as care-givers and migrants as care-receivers. Despite the similarities between the health care systems of Germany and Austria there are decisive differences in the perception and inclusion of migrants in elderly care that is largely based on an 'individual care' concept of the responsible institutions. Finally, this investigation demonstrates how elderly care in Germany and Austria prepares to encounter the demand of 'individual care' in a diverse society.
