A dynamic study of the antecedents and consequences of demographic diversity in organizations: the moderating role of organizational culture.

The goal of this research is twofold. First, we want to gain insight in the antecedents of diversity, by investigating sorting processes and entry and exit of individuals into and out of organizations. Second, we want to investigate the consequences of diversity, thereby discovering the circumstances that allow diversity to have positive effects for teams or organizations, or vice versa, the circumstances in which diversity will be disadvantageous. In studying both research questions, we will focus on the role of an organization's human resource management style as a main driver of the dynamics of demographic diversity.
