Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

This thesis devotes to the concept of discrimination in the workplace, examining its various dimensions and implications. Beginning with an exploration of the definition of discrimination, the study delves into the role of stereotypes as a component of discrimination. Further, it examines the distinctions between direct and indirect discrimination, emphasizing the importance of understanding both forms in addressing workplace inequality. The study also delves into the concept of equality at the workplace, including discussions on equal opportunities, treatment, and pay, as well as labor market segmentation and the glass ceiling phenomenon. Subsequently, the study presents the interview results, followed by a comprehensive discussion. Finally, it addresses the limitations of the study, including sample size and selfreport bias, and offers suggestions for future research in this area. Through its thorough examination and practical insights, this study contributes to a better understanding of discrimination in the workplace and informs strategies for promoting equality and fairness.
