team diversity; definition; classification; measurement; related research.Abstract
Team diversity has been proved to be an important predictor of team performance. In recent years, there has been a gradual increase in the number of literature on team diversity. As there is no comprehensive review of team diversity so far, the domestic and foreign literature has been systematically reviewed so far in this study. By reviewing the literature, this study summarized the definition, classification, measurement and related research of team diversity, summarized the research frontiers of team diversity, and proposed prospects for future research directions.
