Questionable Assumptions and the Study of Emergent Diversity Effects
批评Foss和Klein关于多样性倡议作为涌现现象的观点，指出其基于可疑假设并忽视已有微观组织与心理学研究，提出未来研究应考察不同假设和跨层级权衡以加强科学基础。
Foss and Klein (2022) have written about diversity and inclusion initiatives as an emergent phenomenon connected to the actions of organizational managers. We agree that understanding the emergent effects of diversity is an important topic for study with expansive policy implications. However, Foss and Klein’s view of diversity movements and their implications appears to be based on several questionable assumptions and largely ignores or dismisses extensive micro-organizational and psychological research that has already investigated these phenomena. We examine some of these assumptions and their implications, and provide insight into how future research on emergent diversity effects could examine the impacts of various assumptions and potential trade-offs across organizational levels to inform policy through stronger science.
