Effects of team diversity, transformational leadership, and perceived organizational support on team-learning behavior
Open accessAbstract
I examined the effects of team diversity, and the moderating effects of transformational leadership and perceived organizational support, on team-learning behavior in South Korean companies. I classified diversity into surface-level diversity, deep-level diversity, and differential attitudes toward diversity. I conducted empirical research with 133 teams across 5 industries. As expected, the results showed that team diversity exerted negative effects on team-learning behavior. However, in teams with strong transformational leadership, the negative effects of deep-level diversity diminished, and in teams whose members had a strong perception of organizational support, the negative effects of differential attitudes toward diversity also decreased. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

Research on transformational leadership behaviors demonstrates positive, negative as well as null effects for its moderating influence on the effects of team diversity.
“For instance, research on the role of transformational leadership behaviors-the most widely studied leadership behavior in diverse teams-demonstrates positive, negative as well as null effects for its moderating influence on the effects of team diversity (e.g., Kearney & Gebert, 2009;Kim, 2017;Scheuer, 2017).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
