Zusammenfassung

Obwohl Diversity erst in den letzten Jahren in vielen Organisationen zu einer Art „Modethema“ avanciert ist, handelt es sich um ein alltägliches Phänomen, mit dem die meisten Menschen seit jeher an ihrem Arbeitsplatz konfrontiert werden: Sie arbeiten mit anderen Personen zusammen, die sich hinsichtlich zahlreicher Merkmale (Alter, Geschlecht, Persönlichkeit etc.) voneinander unterscheiden. Empirische Studien verdeutlichen, dass sich aus dieser Zusammenarbeit Vorteile und Nachteile ergeben können. Die Effekte sind jedoch so gering, dass sie im Durchschnitt kaum eine Bedeutung haben. Wer die Effizienz einer Organisation steigern möchte, findet in der Personalauswahl, der Personalentwicklung sowie der Führung sehr viel effektivere Ansatzpunkte. Dennoch kann es Konstellationen geben, in denen es durchaus sinnvoll ist, sich aktiv mit der Heterogenität von Arbeitsgruppen auseinanderzusetzen, um unproduktive Konflikte zu vermeiden und das Potential der Heterogenität zu nutzen.
