The influence of cultural context on the relationship between gender diversity and team performance: a meta-analysis

TLDR
In this article, the authors meta-analyze the relationship between gender diversity and two performance outcomes, namely task performance and contextual performance, and find a significant negative relationship (−− ǫ 0.10) between the two outcomes.
Abstract
The impact of gender diversity on team performance has become a central topic in the field of human resource management for researchers and practitioners alike. Extant research provides conflicting evidence on the relationship between gender diversity and team performance. To resolve these contradictory findings, we meta-analyze the relationship between gender diversity and two performance outcomes, namely task performance and contextual performance. Grounded in categorization-elaboration model, we simultaneously consider the positive and negative aspects of gender diversity. We further examine the effect of cultural context as a moderator on the relationship between gender diversity and team performance. Based on 71 independent samples from 68 studies published between 1996 and 2013, we find a significant negative relationship ( − 0.10) between gender diversity and contextual performance. Additionally, we find that the cultural dimensions gender egalitarianism and collectivism have significant moderating...

The gender diversity-performance relationship in services and manufacturing organizations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented three competing predictions of the organizational gender diversity-performance relationship: a positive linear prediction derived from the resource-based view of the firm, a negative linear prediction based on self-categorization and social identity theories, and an inverted U-shaped curvilinear prediction from the integration of the resource based view of a firm with self-category and social identities theories.
