Rethinking Diversity Strategies: An Application of Paradox and Positive Organization Behavior Theories
用悖论视角指出多元化实践常忽视团结，区分了“觉醒”与“整合”两类策略，并借助积极组织行为理论说明前者可能损害心理资本，最后提出研究与实践建议。
Diversity is a topic that is garnering much attention in society and organizations. We use a paradox lens to suggest a tendency of diversity practices to focus on diversity only, and to essentially neglect unity. We identify two categories of strategies to address diversity: (1) “woke”, and (2) “integrative.” Woke strategies take a single-edged approach to diversity, whereby concerns for diversity are pursued without concern for potentially detrimental effects on unity. In contrast, integrative strategies simultaneously activate the advantages of both diversity and unity, while neutralizing their downsides. In support of this reasoning, we also refer to positive organizational behavior (POB) theory, which would suggest that “woke” strategies run counter to the development of psychological capital on the part of both minority and majority group members. Despite the arguments in this article, it is clear that research is necessary to better understand these alternative approaches to diversity, as well as their effects on individuals, organizations, and society as a whole. Thus, we conclude with a consideration of research needs, as well as practical and policy implications
