...Ethnic Minority Migrant Women and Employment, Research and Practice in Human Resource Management, 16(2), 25-40. Threads of Constraint: Ethnic Minority Migrant Women and Employment Edwina Pio Abstract Nations, organisations and ethnic minority migrants are compelled to deal with issues emerging from the perceptions and politicisation of ethnicity. Issues of ethnicity are often fore grounded in the zone of work where the complexities of migration, ethnicity, gender and employment intersect. This paper highlights the perceptions of university business students in a New Zealand university with reference to ethnic minority women and employment. Through a study of various databases and the construction of parables on ethnic minority women in New Zealand, the experiences of recruitment and selection, diversity management and career progression emerge as themes in the perceived employment experiences of ethnic minority migrant women. The paper argues for the need to highlight narratives of ethnic minority women through creative pedagogy in order to sensitise business students and future managers to the consequences of migration and a need for the intelligent utilisation of human resources in a world that is increasingly multicultural. Introduction Historically New Zealand (NZ) is a country of immigrants though these immigrants in the 19th and early 20th century were primarily Caucasians from Anglo Saxon countries. However, in the 19th century, there...

However, as paperwork requirements grew, and the organisations needed more and more information about their employees, there is a need to use the computer-based management information system that getting data and information of the employees to be assessed. In this case, the state-of-art system was introduced and implemented to the organisations. According to Raymond (1998), the status of personnel data was becoming more important due to the development of government laws and regulations through the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), Affirmative Action Program (AAP), and Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OHS).

...Abstract This paper reviewed the literature on the relationship between human resource management (HRM) and the issue of diversity. Presently, there is a growing need to introduce diversity in the work place for the benefit of varying organizations and their human resource needs. Doing so would help them build up creative ideas and experiences, while mingling with people from diverse backgrounds.
