What's the difference? diversity constructs as separation, variety, or disparity in organizations
区分了组织多样性的三种类型：分离、多样性和差异，指出混淆它们阻碍了理论发展，并提供了概念化、测量和理论检验的指南，对研究人口多样性的学者尤其有用。
Research on organizational diversity, heterogeneity, and related concepts has proliferated in the past decade, but few consistent findings have emerged. We argue that the construct of diversity requires closer examination. We describe three distinctive types of diversity: separation, variety, and disparity. Failure to recognize the meaning, maximum shape, and assumptions underlying each type has held back theory development and yielded ambiguous research conclusions. We present guidelines for conceptualization, measurement, and theory testing, highlighting the special case of demographic diversity
