PurposeJob-related diversity is significantly different from demographic diversity, referring to diverse skills, knowledge, and perspectives. Despite the significant relevance of diversity literature, researchers have paid relatively less attention to job-related diversity dimensions like functional, educational, and tenure diversity. This study aims to analyze the scattered job-related diversity literature and identify mediating, moderating, and outcome variables, including dominant theories, methodological practices, and statistical techniques that affect performance outcomes.Design/methodology/approachThis paper consolidates the job-related diversity literature and conducts a systematic review to fill the research gap. This study undertook a systematic review of 101 articles on job-related diversity published between 1991 and 2020 in academic management journals.FindingsThis study has synthesized several theoretical frameworks and proposed an integrative framework of job-related diversity for future research and theory development. Conclusively, this study has highlighted the gaps, advanced the knowledge in job-related diversity, and suggested future research avenues and implications.Originality/valueThis study is the first systematic review of job-related diversity, which acknowledges the importance of job-related diversity literature. Job-related diversity has received significant attention in the crisis-like situation during COVID-19 to develop innovative ideas and decision-making from different perspectives.

“…Whether as a primary or secondary motivation, self-maximizing, extrinsically linked motivations such as skill development, network building, and personal development are commonly presented as counterpoint to intrinsically linked prosocial motivations (Dempsey-Brench & Shantz, 2021). The additional benefits of self-maximizing motivations are team building, job satisfaction, skill acquisition in the workplace and benefiting the organization through reputation building and corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives (Bingham et al, 2013;do Paço et al, 2013;Pajo & Lee, 2011).…”

Volunteering serves as one mechanism to build personal or career-based social networks (Dempsey-Brench & Shantz, 2021;Shannon, 2009) and enhance solidarity networks amongst groups, such as those with common religious affiliations (Clerkin & Swiss, 2013).…”

Volunteers are a resource for nonprofit organizations, many of whom would not be able to function effectively without their assistance. Therefore, understanding why people volunteer and how organizations utilize their talents is an important area of study, including examining how organizations can best design volunteer jobs to meet the mutual needs of the organization and the individual volunteer. This paper adopts a Person-Environment (P-E) fit perspective to offer an integrated model of volunteer job design that systematically incorporates perspectives Hackman and Oldham's Job Characteristics Model, Grant's relational job design, Rosso and colleagues' identity perspectives, and Wrzesniewski and Dutton's job crafting theory. We propose a theoretically grounded model that explains the flow between volunteers' needs and their culmination into favorable volunteers' attitudes and behaviors for nonprofit organizations. The paper also offers propositions for researchers to empirically test the model.

“…The first type of EVPs is skills-based, “a strategically driven activity that involves employees donating job-related skills and acquiring or developing skills through voluntary contributions to an external non-profit organization that requires certain skill sets ” (Dempsey-Brench and Shantz, 2021, p. 13). Skill-based EVPs tie to a company's mission and CSR strategy (Dempsey-Brench and Shantz, 2021), enhancing employees' job-related experience and deepening their engagement (Point of Light, 2014). The second type of EVP, not-skills-based, does not require hard skills but is still used as a human resource management tool.…”

PurposeDrawing on the elaboration likelihood model, this study aims to examine how employee volunteer program (EVP) type, corporate visual identity, and issue involvement affect external publics' attributions of EVPs and attitudes toward the company.Design/methodology/approachA 2 (EVP type: skills-based vs. not-skills-based) × 2 (salience of corporate visual identity: high vs. low) randomized experiment was conducted with 157 participants from Amazon's Mechanical Turk. A fictitious company and its EVP messages were created to control for the company's existing reputation and participants' past experiences with the company.FindingsParticipants responded positively toward EVP messages regardless of the EVP type. However, salient corporate visual identity significantly aroused participants' more attributed firm-serving motives, which led to more negative attitudes toward the company. Next, issue involvement presented its value in EVP communication as highly involved participants displayed favorable attributions of EVPs and positive attitudes toward the company.Originality/valueThis study approaches EVPs as an important CSR practice and expands the discussion on strategic CSR communication by uncovering the roles of central and peripheral cues in public responses to EVP messages. Moreover, the findings highlight the importance of fostering and enhancing publics' issue involvement in achieving successful EVP communication.
