Abstract
Much attention is being paid to the topic of diversity in the workplace, as academicians and managers confront the issues emerging from an increasingly diverse American workforce. The impact of increased workforce diversity touches virtually all management concerns. As a result, the diversity literature includes a large number of areas of inquiry including, though not limited to, the impact of diversity on communication-oriented outcomes, on cognitive outcomes like creativity of solutions, and on affective reactions like commitment or satisfaction (including turnover and job performance). This article examines gender and culture diversity in work groups.
