The role of diversity in organizations has been widely discussed in recent decades; nevertheless, both theoretical perspectives and empirical results appear conflicting and inconsistent. Scholars identify many possible reasons such as the definition of diversity, theoretical perspectives, variables, and methodological approaches; this study focuses on the methodological issue of assessing variety. To evaluate the role of diversity, most studies adopt static approaches and refer to the classical univariate indices; this research shows their limitations and stresses the importance of treating diversity with a multivariate dynamic approach. Taking advantage of functional data analysis and some recent ecological studies, this dual gap of the organizational literature is addressed by proposing a new methodological approach for measuring and monitoring diversity in organizations. We illustrate an application of this method by using a real dataset concerning the workforce diversity of the “Corporation For National And Community Service Overview” within the project “Federal Equal Opportunity Recruitment Program (FEORP)” of the Government of the United States of America. The goal of this research is to provide human resources specialists, policy makers, and scholars with additional techniques to improve the understanding of the dynamics of workforce diversity and minority employment within organizations.

通过功能性工具测量和监控组织中的多样性,并将其应用于美国联邦机构的族裔劳动力多样性

近几十年来,人们广泛讨论了多样性在组织中的作用。然而,理论观点和实证结果似乎都是矛盾和不一致的。学者们发现了许多可能的原因,例如多样性的定义,理论观点,变量和方法论方法。这项研究的重点是评估多样性的方法论问题。为了评估多样性的作用,大多数研究采用静态方法,并参考经典的单变量指数。这项研究表明了它们的局限性,并强调了使用多元动态方法处理多样性的重要性。利用功能数据分析和一些近期的生态学研究,通过提出一种新的方法论方法来度量和监视组织中的多样性,可以解决组织文献中的这种双重差距。我们通过使用有关美利坚合众国政府“联邦平等机会招聘计划(FEORP)”项目中“国家和社区服务概览公司”劳动力多样性的真实数据集来说明该方法的应用。这项研究的目的是为人力资源专家,政策制定者和学者提供更多技术,以增进他们对组织内部劳动力多样性和少数族裔就业动态的理解。我们通过使用有关美利坚合众国政府“联邦平等机会招聘计划(FEORP)”项目中“国家和社区服务概览公司”劳动力多样性的真实数据集来说明该方法的应用。这项研究的目的是为人力资源专家,政策制定者和学者提供更多技术,以增进他们对组织内部劳动力多样性和少数族裔就业动态的理解。我们通过使用有关美利坚合众国政府“联邦平等机会招聘计划(FEORP)”项目中“国家和社区服务概览公司”劳动力多样性的真实数据集来说明该方法的应用。这项研究的目的是为人力资源专家,政策制定者和学者提供更多技术,以增进他们对组织内部劳动力多样性和少数族裔就业动态的理解。
