TLDR
Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper argue that diverse teams have a dual nature that simultaneously facilitates and hinders organizational ambidexterity. And they suggest that establishing a governance mechanism to manage the dual impact of team diversity is crucial.Abstract:
Combining the upper echelons theory and intra-group confl ict view, this paper argues that diverse teams have a dual nature that simultaneously facilitates and hinders organizational ambidexterity. This study suggests that establishing a governance mechanism to manage the dual impact of team diversity is crucial. This study is based on a questionnaire survey and analysis using a sample of 196 fi rms in China. The fi ndings show that team diversity not only positively infl uences organizational ambidexterity through strategic planning processes but impedes ambidexterity through intra-group confl icts. The results also show that senior team integration mechanisms increase the ability of top executives to manage the ambiguous effect of diversity to facilitate organizational ambidexterity.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a synergistic perspective on TMT diversity and examined how two types of diversity (functional and age diversity) affect the achievement of organizational ambidexterity, and identified shared responsibility and CEO cognitive trust as important contingencies that may complement the effects of diversity within TMTs in terms of resolving potential conflicts and managing tensions between exploration and exploitation effectively.
