This leads to reduced productivity of the company in case. Therefore, the company must develop and implement strategies that focus on improving the activity of its employees in order to increase the productivity of the company and maintain its competitive advantage and strong position in comparison with its competitors. The modern theory and practice of organizational culture encourage and support equality between employees. In order to ensure that such an environment that promotes equality is applicable, companies and their managers tends to favor the member of minority groups in the detriment of the dominant group members. As revealed above, this creates tension between employees. Those that are disfavored by such policies will interfere with the work of the reverse discrimination recipients. The consequence is that the efficiency of employees is likely to reduce, and the focus of these employees will be represented by their rights in comparison with the rights granted to other employees. This proves that discrimination, whether one refers to traditional or reverse discrimination, has negative effects of the work performance of employees. This further leads to reduced efficiency and productivity of the company.
