Abstract

Social class inequality is growing at a record pace. What happens when individuals from different social classes work on the same team? We examined the direct and moderating influences of social class as an underexplored form of diversity on team viability in 132 student project teams. Guided by an overarching framework from the team diversity literature, we explored perspective taking and conflict resolution norms as moderators that may safeguard against the negative effects of social class diversity on team viability. As predicted, teams with a mix of higher and lower social class members who were less able to see their teammates’ points of view or develop open conflict resolution norms reported less desire to work together in the future. Given these promising results and the ongoing importance of social class inequality in organizations, future research should continue to examine social class in a team context.

穷与富:社会阶层多样性对团队生存力的影响
社会阶级不平等正在以创纪录的速度扩大。当来自不同社会阶层的人在同一个团队中工作时会发生什么?在132个学生项目团队中,我们研究了社会阶层作为一种未被充分探索的多样性形式对团队生存能力的直接和调节影响。在团队多样性文献的总体框架的指导下,我们探讨了观点采纳和冲突解决规范作为调节因子,可以防止社会阶层多样性对团队生存能力的负面影响。正如预测的那样,如果团队中既有较高社会阶层的成员,也有较低社会阶层的成员,而这些成员不太能理解队友的观点,也不太能制定公开的冲突解决规范,那么他们在未来合作的意愿就会降低。鉴于这些有希望的结果和社会阶层不平等在组织中的持续重要性,未来的研究应该继续在团队背景下研究社会阶层。
