  摘要：Amidst stakeholder demands for transparency and the recent pandemic, the inner workings of supply chains have become more visible. This visibility has shone a spotlight on workplace corporate social irresponsibility (CSI)-actions within a company's internal supply chain operations perceived to harm the well-being of its employees. At the same time, companies scrambling to recruit new talent for operations and supply chain management (OM/SCM) face dual challenges in the shortage of diverse tale...
• Selection of Small and Diverse Suppliers and Contractual Performance: Do Set-Asides Pay Off? AI翻译

  摘要：Despite formal supplier diversity initiatives and lofty goals, corporate spending with diverse suppliers is about 7%. Conversely, the U.S. federal government's spending with these suppliers exceeds 25%. The government's use of set-asides, which limit the bidding on certain contracts to small or small and diverse suppliers, is one reason that might explain this difference. Although set-asides entail socioeconomic benefits for these suppliers, they are controversial. Our study contributes to thi...

  摘要：Motivated by a desire to understand who benefits from public-sector supplier diversity, and why, we conducted a comparative case study across six U.S. state-level supplier diversity programs. We collected/analyzed qualitative data via semi-structured interviews with high-level state leaders and collected spending data via 2017-2021 semiannual/annual reports. We found that businesses owned by White women benefit more from supplier diversity programs than those owned by ethnic minorities (Blacks...
• Made Better by Others? When Having More Diverse Colleagues Improves Individual Outcomes AI翻译

  摘要：Research suggests that workgroup diversity influences various group and organizational-level outcomes. However, few studies consider its impact at the individual level, particularly in knowledge-related work, where workers have considerable discretion in making decisions. Our study aims to fill this gap by examining two significant types of workgroup diversity-gender diversity, a kind of bio-demographic diversity, and specialization diversity, a kind of job-related diversity-in a healthcare se...

  摘要：Language system diversity is a source of individual differences. Research on human cognition has established that writing direction influences non-linguistic mental schemata such as spatial orientation. However, there is little empirical evidence of its impact on task performance. We examine whether task performance in manual order-picking is higher when the in-aisle travel direction follows the writing direction of order pickers. We conducted this study in cooperation with a German brick-and-...
• How to Reduce Microaggression and Other Negative Racial Experiences at Work with Continuous Improvement AI翻译

  摘要：While government regulation or company policy can be used to curtail discrimination at work, it is hard to regulate away negative experiences like microaggression or perceptions of discrimination against minority employees in hiring and promotion. Using data from interviews with minority ethnic staff at a UK university, I present evidence of microaggression and minority employees feeling excluded and posit that perceptions of discriminatory policy engender negative perceptions of the organizat...
• Inclusive Sourcing: Exploring Missing Links in Procurement and Contracting That Adversely Affect the Upward Mobility of Minority Businesses AI翻译

  摘要：While large purchasing organizations (LPOs) continue to push their supplier diversity and development efforts, disparities remain between minority- and majority-owned businesses. We examine existing disparities, investigate the factors contributing to these gaps, and discuss how LPOs may improve their engagement initiatives with minority-owned businesses, leading to mutual economic success. Through interviews with representatives of minority- and majority-owned businesses, we uncover the diffi...
• Diversity in Frontline Employee Perceptions: Policies and Procedures, Training, and Leadership as Drivers of Service Equality AI翻译

  摘要：Excellent service is often discussed with an assumption of equivalency in its application, yet the reality is far more complex. Customers have distinct needs that pose distinct challenges for frontline service employees. In hotel settings, providing excellent service to a diverse set of guests is more nuanced when frontline employees themselves are from a wide variety of backgrounds. Whereas the literature considers operational tactics to promote excellence in guest service, it is unclear whet...
• Will Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Commitment Improve Manufacturing Firms' Market Performance? A Signaling Theory Perspective on DEI Announcements AI翻译

  摘要：Despite an increasing emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), there is a noticeable gap in empirical research concerning its implications, particularly within the manufacturing sector. In response, we scrutinize the impact of DEI commitment on publicly traded manufacturing corporations through the lens of signaling theory. We employ an event study methodology and use structural topic modeling to analyze 233 DEI-commitment announcements issued by 161 firms over a 10-year period betw...
• Do Gender-Diverse Teams Deliver Better Operational Performance: An Experimental Study AI翻译

  摘要：The routines-based approach to operations management emphasizes the role of routines in operational performance. However, little is known about how gender diversity in teams could alter coordination and change behaviors of team members, potentially impacting performance. In this study, we report on two laboratory experiments that induce routines to assess the stability of coordination and adaptability to organizational changes across mixed-gender teams of varying diversity and empirically exam...
