Abstract
This paper examines several types of diversity, with diversity acceptance as a moderator, to identify their impact on how innovative a workgroup perceives it can be. Archival data from employees within the healthcare industry were utilized as the population in this study. Five types of diversity (gender, age, ethnicity, supervisory-level, and tenure), and diversity acceptance acting as a moderator, are tested to determine their impact on a workgroup's perception of innovative potential. Each of the five hypotheses yielded similar, non-significant results. These results give avenues of future research that have the capacity to provide insight to the subjects of workgroup diversity and innovation.
