From heterogeneity to inequality: The impact of nationality diversity on leadership in multinational teams
研究区分了异质性与不平等，发现国籍地位通过能力感知直接影响领导力感知，而国籍身份通过温暖感知间接影响领导力，揭示了国籍作为不平等来源的机制。
This study distinguishes heterogeneity and inequality by exploring how nationality diversity influences leadership perceptions in multinational teams. Using two studies that assessed 105 (Study 1) and 40 (Study 2) teams comprising 4,120 and 2,180 dyads respectively, we find that nationality-based status influences leadership perceptions directly and indirectly through competence perceptions of higher-status peers. Nationality-based identity had no direct effect, but some evidence suggests an indirect effect on leadership that was mediated by warmth perceptions of culturally similar peers. These findings highlight nationality as a source of inequality beyond heterogeneity, elucidating the social perceptual paths that shape leadership in multinational contexts.
