Abstract

The impact of three types of diversity proposed by Harrison and Klein (2007) – separation, variety, and disparity – on team performance (quantitative performance, innovation and general performance) was tested through meta-analysis. Results showed that the effect of disparity diversity had a significant effect on innovation, but the other diversity types had no relationships with performance.

Keywords: team diversity, group heterogeneity, performance, meta-analysis
