“… Wei et al (2021) investigated the moderating effect of diversity type on the relation-oriented (demographic) diversity-innovation relationship. Their findings demonstrate that relation-oriented variety had a negative, yet non-significant impact on corporate innovation.…”

“…Several meta-analytic integrations have been able to examine this proposition. Results from meta-analytic integrations show a negative effect of demographic faultlines on performance [ Carter et al, 2019 ( r = −0.05); van Dijk et al, 2012 ( r = −0.06); Wei et al, 2021 ( ρ = −0.17)]. Moreover, Zhang and Chen (2023) found that surface-level social faultlines activate subgroup formation, which in turn adversely impacts team interaction quality and team performance.…”

“…A single meta-analysis examined the moderating effect of diversity operationalization (e.g., variety, disparity, and faultline strength) on the general task-related-performance relationship ( Wei et al, 2021 ). These authors found that each diversity operationalization was positively related to corporate innovation.…”

The need exists to better understand how to comprise fluid teams—teams that are assembled on short notice, from members with little to no familiarity, who come together to carry out a time-limited task, and then disband. Due to the ever-increasing complexity of the modern workplace, the demand for these types of fluid teams is growing in task domains such as the military, aviation, healthcare, and industry. The aim of this paper is to review the team composition literature to shed light on composition considerations for forming fluid teams.

This study describes the diversity of directors' nationality from company attributes: company leverage, growth, size, age, and sub-sector. This study also analyses the association between directors' nationality diversity and the performance of Indonesia's listed companies using two measurements: ROA and ROS (accounting performance) and Stock return and Tobin’s Q (market performance). This study used 3,290 observations in 235 companies (from 2004 to 2017). As a result, the level of director nationality diversity varies based on the company size (large vs. small), company age (old vs. young), company growth (high vs. low), company leverage (high vs. low), company sub-sector (central vs. manufacturing vs. trading & service sub-sector). In addition, the diversity of the supervisory board nationality is negatively related to the ROA and Tobin’s Q and positively associated with stock return. The company breaks the negative effect of supervisory board nationality diversity by reducing the periods foreign directors need to familiarise themselves with newly discovered circumstances, such as culture, systems, and language. The company suggests increasing the supervisory board nationality diversity regarding the stock return as detailed theoretical and practical implications.

“…From the social perspective, team diversity also has the potential to invite interpersonal tensions that further disrupt knowledge integration (van Knippenberg and van Ginkel, 2021). In support of these conflicting perspectives, past meta-analyses have yielded inconsistent findings on the relationship between team diversity and organizational outcomes (Certo et al ., 2006; Webber and Donahue, 2001; Wei et al ., 2020), further confirming the idea that team diversity carries both benefits and costs (Cannella et al ., 2008; Ma et al ., 2021).…”

PurposeAlthough strategic scholars have made great effects to exploring the moderating roles of team interaction in explaining the effect of top management team (TMT) diversity, they have adopted seemingly conflicting theoretical perspectives to explain how it works. Drawing on ideas from the threat rigidity theory, the authors integrated these perspectives by proposing a contingency model in which the relationships between TMT diversity and adaptive firm performance depend on the matching between the internal context (i.e. overlapping team tenure) and external context (i.e. severity of threat).Design/methodology/approachThis study sampled 579 Chinese A-share listed companies that have been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and multilevel linear regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis.FindingsResults provided support for this hypothesis. Specifically, the interaction between TMT age/tenure diversity and overlapping team tenure is significant only when the severity of threat is high, while the interaction between TMT functional diversity and overlapping team tenure is significant only when the severity of threat is low.Originality/valueThe results of this study provide a comprehensive perspective to predict the performance impact of team diversity and contribute to diversity research and practice.
