Inclusivity and tolerance as values in management practice: Sociological analysis.

Abstract

The article analyzes inclusivity, tolerance, and trust as essential social values in modern management practice. It is argued that inclusion recognizes and appreciates the diversity of each individual and sets itself the task of ensuring their comprehensive inclusion and participation in public life. Tolerance reveals the ability of society or its members to accept and respect differences between people, especially in cases where these differences can lead to conflicts or misunderstandings. Trust is an attribute of social interactions at all levels of social management (personal, process, institutional, organizational). The article presents the ambiguity of approaches to understanding the aspects under study in scientific discourse. Under present-day conditions, the regulation of social processes, both at the institutional and individual levels, requires theoretical rethinking and practical transformation. The sphere of labor and employment cannot yet demonstrate an unambiguously constructive and responsible attitude to enriching management practice with a conscious inclusive approach. Employment of persons with disabilities is largely formal in nature; employers often take a wait-and-see and cautious position, considering the hiring of “special” applicants as potential losses. Inclusivity and tolerance should be presented in current agenda as social values, which are although difficult to achieve, but the most significant in the context of striving for a socially responsible world order. The article authors believe that the formation of a culture of trust is a necessary link in the process of reassessing norms and values, with gradual elimination of stereotypes.
