Key Word Combinations - Week 7


1. Keywords: Direct and Indirect and "Workplace Discrimination"
BibInfo: Badget, M.V., (1995). Indstrial and Labor Relations Review. Cornell University. Vol 48. 726-739

This article was very helpful in terms of my research. It gave in great detail exactly what is direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, and how it relates to my social problem as a whole. It provides very good details that go a long by providing examples of each type of act of discrimination, such as against age, race, gender, etc. It also provides brief definitions and explanations. This source, out of the other three, seem to be much more accurate with information, however the currency of the article is a bit questionable due to the year that it was posted.

2. Keywords: Problems Employee Unequal  Discriminated
Using: AND
BibInfo: Unequal Discrimination. (2005). Syncrat Publishing. Retrieved from http://www.syncrat.com/6hp

This article provided information about specific problems that employees go through and how it classifies as discrimination. This website, like the previous, also gives a good overflow of this topic, and even gives questions to work with and analyze for oneself. This article is the most current of the three articles and does seem to have good information, however; it does not come from a very credible source (google) and for my research I would look elsewhere and possibly find similar information, but would have reinsurance over my findings of my information.

3.  Keywords: Employment and Unfair and Treatment
using: AND
BibInfo: Kickul, J. (2001). When organizations break their promises: Employee reactions to unfair processes and treatment. Journal of business ethics. Vol 29(4). 289-307.

This article was about organizations and how they did not receive what they were entitled to. This caused an outbreak and relates to whether or not this is direct discrimination or indirect discrimination, and helps me get a better understanding of real life situations and how employers can disrespect their employees and do things that they are not supposed to legally be allowed to do. This source is credible, it comes from the Purdue University Calumet library database and is a peer reviewed journal. The date is a little pushed back, but is still within about a ten year length and would be more credible than if it were in the late 1990's.
