Abstract

This study examines how culture influences attitudes towards diversity among Human Resource managers in multinationals, comparing the Netherlands with Morocco. The GLOBE study was used as analytic framework. Thirty five in-depth semi-structured interviews with HR managers were conducted and analyzed by the use of content analysis. The findings suggest that attitudes towards diversity are changing and that culture plays an important role in this. The findings stress the importance of tradition in the Moroccan context.
