Description
Summary:The objective of this paper is to analyse differences in leadership and discrimination in Austria and Taiwan. A quantitative as well as a qualitative study was conducted to identify differences between Austria and Taiwan regarding leadership and discrimination at the workplace. Data was gathered through an online survey. Findings showed that supervisors in Austria motivate their employees to reveal their full potential more than supervisors in Taiwan. In addition, it is identified that leaders and employees in Austria have easier access to further training for personal development than leaders and employees in Taiwan. As for discrimination at the workplace it was identified that discrimination by clients and suppliers and discrimination of minorities at the workplace is more prevalent in Taiwan than in Austria. Motivation of employees and access to further training and personal development can minimize discrimination at the workplace.
