Overview
Psychology is a fascinating field because of its application to virtually any life experience or situation. In this course and throughout your work on this assessment,
you will recognize the practical application of psychology in many different aspects of your life. Hopefully, this application of the perspectives, theories, and

The problem of bias involves favoring people of a particular gender, race, or sexual
orientation regarding hiring and general treatment in the workplace. This issue has plagued
society for centuries and continues to impact us because organizations are still hiring more male
employees than females which leads to gender disparity. For example, senior positions in many
organizations in the United States are typically dominated by men and women only form a small
percentage of high official positions within the workplace. Due to this gap, changes to
organizational procedures are hindered and tend to favor the dominant gender. The lack of an
effective way of addressing gender disparity in the organizations is the primary cause of
employment and wage gap between women and men (McKinsey & Company, 2016).
The employment gap between women and men is widening because only 38% of the
companies establish targets for gender representation; a vital step towards ensuring gender
parity. Gender discrimination is real in many companies even regarding promotion because for
every 100 men promoted to managerial positions, only 79 women are promoted (McKinsey &
Company, 2016). This form of discrimination is the primary cause of performance and
accountability issues because of unconducive working environment that is dominated by men.
Prejudice and bias harm the general prosperity of the United States and stagnates its economic
growth since opportunities are mainly available to few people as the majority of more qualified
women are left behind. Eradicating bias in the workplace promotes diversity and inclusivity
thereby facilitating social and economic growth (McKinsey & Company, 2016).
