Work Group Inclusiveness Influenced by Working Virtually in IT Sector, Bangalore

In human resource management study, understanding how online work environments affect disenfranchised workers is important. Inclusivity academics have concentrated on how dissimilarities affect managerial inclusion of workers but seldom on how this happens via technology-mediated contact. We propose a theoretic model of two common distance types using inclusiveness and virtual work research on identity and communication (targeted and diffuse). We then explore how social distance impacts inclusion. Our data reveals that the virtual workplace may lessen certain prejudice and discrimination while boosting others. The results suggest inclusiveness studies should be more context-sensitive.
