Abstract

Factors that affect work team performance are the subject of numerous studies that contribute to the understanding of how teams can operate effectively in a constantly changing environment. The focus of this paper is on the relationship between work team diversity and team performance. The aim is to evaluate the impact of various work team diversity categories and characteristics on team performance. The research is executed on the sample of more than 940 sales work teams within international corporation with the global presence. Performance of sales work teams is measured by achieved revenue on country level and consequently consolidated in a form of global performance ranking. Linear regression is used to analyse the impact of work team diversity characteristics on team performance. The results confirm that team performance is influenced by gender, nationality, and mother language diversity of team members, but also by seniority and stability of work team. Team size and job specialization seem to be without any significant impact on team performance.
