دانلود Using performance management to win the talent war

Abstract

People who are demographically different from one another face   a fundamental challenge in developing high-quality relationships in organizations. We build theory about how the status differences that  often accompany demographic characteristics can hinder this development through their  influence on disclosure of personal information. We theorize about the construct of status distance and how, ironically, disclosure of  personal information may increase status distance instead of  bringing individuals closer together. Beyond  status  distance, we  also discuss how  status characteristics and identification with one’s characteristics influence disclosure  of status-relevant information.
