As globalization permeates both consumer and labor markets,
organizational workforces in the 21st century are comprised of
greater diversity along a number of demographic dimensions. To keep
pace with the changing business environment, research has
considered what diversity means and its impact on group and
organizational functioning. As such, there is a substantial body of
research that investigates the concept of diversity, its effects,
and the processes that underlie these effects. However, the number
of questions regarding the what, why, and when of diversity still
remain.
