The Direct and Indirect Impact of Gender Diversity in New Venture Teams on Innovation Performance
研究发现新创团队性别多样性（女性成员增加）与创新绩效正相关，并正向调节功能多样性和女性员工比例对创新绩效的影响。
Women's interest and participation in entrepreneurship is growing. The limited and inconclusive findings on such growth have made it difficult to characterize its influence on new venture innovation performance. In addressing this issue, our study found a positive relationship between the gender diversity scores of new venture teams—reflecting the increased presence of women—and the innovation performance of new ventures. It also found the positive influence of gender diversity on (a) the relationship between the functional diversity of a venture team and its innovation performance and (b) the relationship between female employee presence and innovation performance.
