Identity salience: a moderator of the relationship between group gender composition and work group conflict
研究发现性别身份的显著性调节了群体性别构成与工作群体冲突的关系，尤其对男性而言，性别构成的数值独特性会触发身份显著性，进而影响关系冲突。
Abstract This study proposes and tests models in which the salience of gender serves as a moderator of the relationship between group gender composition and work group conflict. The numerical distinctiveness of gender group composition was found to trigger the salience of group members' gender identities for men in the group. Identity salience was found to affect work group conflict beyond what one would predict on the basis of gender diversity alone. Support was found for gender identity salience as a moderator variable with respect to the linkage between numerical distinctiveness in gender work group composition and relationship conflict in work groups for men. This study offers an explanation for the differing effects found across studies regarding the effect of group composition on work group conflict: the extent to which gender is relied upon by group members in describing those in their group.
