Location-Level Links Between Diversity and Innovative Climate Depend on National Power Distance
研究一家跨国公司在24个国家248个地点的数据，发现组织任期和职能背景的多样性与创新氛围的关系受国家权力距离调节：在高权力距离国家为负相关，在低权力距离国家为正相关。
In this study, we examined the relationship between the demographic diversity and innovative climates of 248 organizational locations of a multinational company in 24 countries. Supporting a status characteristics perspective, multilevel analyses revealed that diversity in the more task-oriented demographic attributes of organizational tenure and functional background was negatively related to these locations' innovative climates in high-power-distance countries but positively related to the locations' innovative climate in low-power-distance countries. These interactive effects were not found for the more relations-oriented demographic attributes of age and gender.
