Abstract

Team diversity has been proved to be an important predictor of team performance. In recent years, there has been a gradual increase in the number of literature on team diversity. As there is no comprehensive review of team diversity so far, the domestic and foreign literature has been systematically reviewed so far in this study. By reviewing the literature, this study summarized the definition, classification, measurement and related research of team diversity, summarized the research frontiers of team diversity, and proposed prospects for future research directions.

Highlights

Since the 21st century, the uncertainty of the business environment makes enterprises tend to carry out business in the form of team, and individual learning in team has attracted more and more attention from the academic and practical circles.team diversity has been proved to be an important predictor of team performance

Introduction

Since the 21st century, the uncertainty of the business environment makes enterprises tend to carry out business in the form of team, and individual learning in team has attracted more and more attention from the academic and practical circles.team diversity has been proved to be an important predictor of team performance. There has been a gradual increase in the number of literature on team diversity. The domestic and foreign literature has been systematically reviewed so far in this study. Given the current state of knowledge about team diversity, this review aims to achieve three objectives: (1) identify various ways of defining (or conceptualizing) team diversity; (2) operationalize this construct (by measuring it); and (3) provide better information about the impact of team diversity is studied
