ABSTRACT

Ongoing academic debates demand a better understanding of the effect of workforce diversity (not only top managers) on unexplored outcomes (not only financial performance). We proposed/tested a conceptual model that theorizes the moderate role of workforce demographics corporate venturing drivers by adopting different theoretical approaches. Using a sample of 17217 employees across 20 countries, our findings highlight that women and migrant workers contribute to corporate venturing by identifying business opportunities (exploration experiences) and taking advantage of intellectual capital (human capital and social capital). Several implications for leaders who manage a diversified workforce emerge from this study.

摘要

正在进行的学术辩论要求更好地理解劳动力多样性（不仅是高层管理人员）对未探索结果（不仅是财务业绩）的影响。我们提出/测试了一个概念模型，该模型通过采用不同的理论方法对劳动力人口统计企业风险驱动因素的适度作用进行了理论化。使用来自 20 个国家/地区的 17217 名员工的样本，我们的研究结果强调，女性和移民工人通过识别商业机会（探索经验）和利用智力资本（人力资本和社会资本）为企业创业做出了贡献。这项研究对管理多元化劳动力的领导者产生了一些影响。
