Abstract:

This paper puts forth a typology for classifying different types of diversity variables. Using the dimensions of observability and measurability, a four cell classification scheme is created, and three levels of diversity variables are identified surface, working, and deep level diversity. The author explains the nature of the relationship between the three levels of diversity and posits a general model of organizational behavior including diversity, group cohesiveness, group performance, sexual harassment, and time.
