Deep-level diversity is a type of diversity that values attitudes, values, and beliefs. Here’s what makes it more critical than surface-level diversity and how you can make it a reality in your workplace.
Mar 25, 2020 · Deep-level diversity is about the non-observable traits that can be concealed or revealed at a person’s discretion, such as beliefs, attitudes, norms, and values, like religious beliefs (Taniguchi, n.d.).
Nov 21, 2023 · This paper employs the surface and deep-level diversity categorization as it allows us to address the nuances and complexity of cultural diversity that are often missed when we only look at the visible diversity characteristics.
Surface-level diversity includes demographic differences, while deep-level diversity is defined as differences in attitudes and beliefs. In a longitudinal laboratory study, surface-level or demographic diversity was found to have weaker effects on group cohesion and performance as group longevity increased, as compared to deep-level, or ...
Diversity researchers have distinguished between surface-level (e.g., social categories) and deep-level (e.g., attitudes, opinions, infor-mation, and values) diversity, but have not fully explored the complexities of their simultaneous existence in groups.
Sep 1, 2013 · Two experimental studies demonstrate that deep level diversity leads to less creatively elaborated and integrated ideas. In addition, the studies revealed that when groups must converge around a single output, the challenges of deep level diversity outweigh the benefits of divergent idea generation.
Jan 24, 2022 · Education and skills diversity were taken into consideration as deep-level diversity, and gender had the role of surface-level. Organizational performance was positively linked to diversity through the existence of culture as an indicator of diversity ( Al-Rawashdeh, 2020 ).
Two experimental studies demonstrate that deep level diversity leads to less creatively elaborated and integrated ideas. In addition, the studies revealed that when groups must converge around a single output, the challenges of deep level diversity outweigh the benefits of divergent idea generation.
Mar 1, 2006 · Diversity researchers have distinguished between surface-level (e.g., social categories) and deep-level (e.g., attitudes, opinions, information, and values) diversity, but have not fully explored the complexities of their simultaneous existence in groups.
This review highlights the need for future research to look at the effects of surface and deep-level diversity simultaneously, over time, across multiple levels and with a broad range of contextual moderators, to examine their impact on a range of outcomes.
