Migrant Workplace Abuse and Exploitation in New Zealand Organisations

e. Critically analyse the determinants of workplace behaviour (workplace abuse and exploitation) in an NZ context- critically analysing why migrant workplace abuse and exploitation happen

f. Evaluate how organizational effectiveness in NZ is influenced by diversity of the internal and external environment- evaluating how diversity (in both the internal and external environment) can be used to effectively limit (or eliminate) migrant workplace abuse and exploitation
