Employees with different ethnicity not like to spend time with each other and have fewer social bonds Sometime, this is creating dissatisfaction at working place (Kunze, Boehm, & Bruch, 2009). The diverse working place with high social codes causes some limitations, which as a result affects the satisfaction level of employees (Reeves, McKinney, & Azam, 2013). The senior age group has seen more demand for authority and directed the things according to their experience It will sometime create distances and dissatisfaction of one group of employees at working place (Kunze, Boehm, & Bruch, 2009).
