With the increasing proportion of women in the workforce, need for effective management of gender-diversity is being felt. While much of the effort in gender-diversity management has been on representation of women in the decision-making bodies and processes, the most fundamental diversity issue for the organization remains practically untouched. Organizational culture has long been shaped and dominated by male orientations and therefore focus on change in the organizational culture can help in addressing the issue of discrimination and isolation of women in organizations. Any intervention strategy in this regard would require understanding of the attributes of organizational culture that give the feeling of discrimination to women employees resulting in their isolation from the mainstream, thereby hampering their performance. The present chapter aims at identifying the attributes of organizational culture in respect of which the perceptions of female employees differ significantly from those of male employees in State Bank of India.

The philosophy behind subnormality care is clearly to prevent subnormal functioning. This involves eugenic aspects, adequate obstetric and pre-natal care, paediatric diagnosis, and remedying inherited and acquired handicaps. It is common knowledge that much of the functional subnormality once seen among adults can be avoided with good community facilities. A recent team of American experts touring the U.S.S.R. reluctantly concluded that, by means of good obstetric and child care facilities, the U.S.S.R. probably avoided the hospitalization of some half the number of those who in the U.S. were found to need residential care (Kety, 1965). Craft and Miles reviewed Welsh facilities in the 1960's, and found that some of the areas reviewed apparently labelled three times as many persons ‘subnormal’ as others, thereby producing a residential hospital solution to many difficult social problems.
