This study is a trend study on the Workforce Diversity. The purpose of this study is to present a direction for the management of workforce diversity in Korean organization in the context of the rapidly growing interest and discussion of diversity within an organization, as the diversity of manpower in women, foreigners and the elderly has recently expanded. To this end, 70 studies that are related to Korean Organizations published in KCI and SSCI-class journals were selected from 2002 to 2018 to perform technical analysis and content analysis. The results are as follows. First, diversity research into Korean organizations first began in 2002. The researches related to this aspect have increased rapidly since the diversity of human resources within the organization gradually increased after the revision of 'Act on the Equal Employment for Both Sexes'. Most of the research has been done mainly for profit organizations, but it has also spread to public and educational organizations since 2012. However, only one study was conducted on non-profit organizations such as social welfare organizations, showing a wide gap between the types of organizations. Second, the diversity of Korean organizations is mainly focused on 'gender' and 'age' due to diversity in social categories, and the diversity factor has not been significantly expanded compared to foreign countries. Meanwhile, in informational diversity, there are greatest number of 'job duration' and 'diversity of major', which put weight on 'practical work experience' and 'task-oriented diversity'. In addition, organizational diversity has shown a tendency to expand gradually into diversity perception. Third, in the diversity and organization performance study, the organizational cultural sensitivity is twice as much as the institutional management study in the diversity convergence mechanism. Fourth, the 'Diversity Management Model' has had the most 'diversity efficaciousness models' in the early stages of the study. However, more and more research have been done on the need to embrace diversity and converge on organizational performance. As a result, 'organizational culture approach model' accounts for the highest percentage. The proposals for the results of this study are as follows. First, as the diversity of non-profit and third-sector organizations is discussed in foreign countries, research on organizational diversity in non-profit organizations and third-sector organizations, which are not yet available in Korea, should be actively carried out. Second, we need to overcome limited diversity factors in Korea's single culture and explore the upcoming new diversity characteristics. Third, strategies for appropriate diversity management should be established by accurately diagnosing and applying the diversity management model to each type of organization.

The main purpose of the study was to examine the structural relationships among workplace diversity management, employees' turnover intention, and perceived organizational support in the Korean business context. The mediating effect of perceived organizational support on the relationship between workplace diversity management and turnover intention was also explored. The major findings are as follows: First, no direct relationship was found between workplace diversity management and employees' turnover intention. However, workplace diversity management positively impacted perceived organizational support. Third, perceived organizational support was found to be negatively related with employees' turnover intention. Finally, the results showed that perceived organizational support played a mediating role in the relationship between workplace diversity management and turnover intention.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of informational diversity-sensitive orientation on employee attitudes, focusing on the moderating effects of communication. Recently, diversity within organizations has intensified and the importance of diversity management within organizations is increasing. Diversity studies have focused on the variance of objective diversity characteristics, and have provided mixed results. In order to overcome limitations in the research, this study focuses on members' perception of diversity. To this end, the variable of informational diversity-sensitive orientation(IDSO) was used. Sample data is derived from 301 surveys of employees in firms located in South Korea. Results show that informational diversity-sensitive orientation(IDSO) had a positive effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Regarding the moderating effect of communication, a positive moderating effect was exhibited only in co-worker communication, and differential influence derived from communication type. Based on the analysis results, we discuss research implications and directions for future research.

Since 'virtual teams' are not bounded by geographical dimensions, culture becomes an important determinant of their success. Though cultural diversity provides unique opportunities to build up new ideas, it can also create problems in the midst of individual interactions and eventually result in poor performance. With little research on this topic, this study examines the relationship between culture and virtual teams' performance. An experiment was conducted followed by the survey based on subjects' perceptions on the experiment. The results show that cultural diversity has significant impact on virtual teams' performance through confusion and conflict in virtual teams. This study empirically proves the fact that conflict is one of the most critical antecedents of a virtual team's performance with high R-square values in both experimental and control groups. In addition, this research introduces and empirically tests a new construct, 'confusion' which turns out to be also important in the virtual team's performance research, and the relationships among confusion, conflict and the virtual team's performance. Next, the findings confirm the importance of studying virtual teams' performance research from the cultural perspective.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of extrinsic and intrinsic compensation on organizational commitment. It is also analyzed whether the compensation selection may play a moderating role between the types of compensation and organizational commitment. A total of 295 questionnaires from 12 Chinese companies are used for data analysis. The empirical results show that the types of compensation have a positive effect on organizational commitment. It is found a moderating effect of compensation selection only between extrinsic compensation and organizational commitment. The results reveal that more focus on external compensation and adopting a flexible benefit plan are necessary to improve organizational commitment.

Even though current firms achieve organizational innovation with diverse workforce, previous studies on the relationship between workforce diversity and firm innovation revealed mixed results. To explain these inconsistent findings, this study examines the contradictory aspects of diversity, and divides innovative performance as exploitative and exploratory innovation. In particular, the main focus of this study is age diversity and firm innovation, since most Korean firms suffer from inter-generational conflicts. In addition, this study explores the moderating role of cohesive and innovative culture as the strong norms within the organization. The HCCP data was used to test these hypotheses. As predicted, age diversity negatively influences exploitative innovation, and positively affects exploratory innovation. However, the moderating role of cohesive culture was not statistically significant. Conversely, innovative culture strengthens the positive relationship between them.

This study examines the contrasting effects of an aging workforce on organizational innovation and the moderating role of age diversity. By utilizing a knowledge-based view, this study asserts that an aging workforce can contribute to organizational innovation to some degree due to accumulated firm-specific knowledge and experiences as well as various social networks within and outside the firm. On the contrary, as the portion of an aging workforce increases, the negative effect of the aging workforce on organizational innovation can overwhelm the positive effects because of the limitations of new knowledge creation. In addition, this study explores the effect of age diversity to moderate the relationship between aging workforce and organizational innovation.Empirical findings showed that an aging workforce and organizational innovation had an inverted-U relationship, and age diversity moderated this curvilinear relationship as this study predicted. These theoretical arguments and empirical findings highlight the necessity to explore the complex effects of an aging workforce on organizational innovation as well as additional factors influencing the relationship between aging workforce and firm innovation.

As a countermeasure to the increasing workforce diversity worldwide, this study addresses the need for an ICT (information communication technology) based diversity management function and identifies the role of e-HRM (electronic-human resource management), which enables this function. ICT has essential for the survival and growth of a company. And it is strategically crucial to recruit and manage a workforce efficiently that comprises individuals not only with diverse demographic backgrounds in terms of gender, race, and age, but also with diverse personal history in terms of educational background, functional background, and the number of years working at a previous job, because these are directly related to organizational performance. Based on the fact that only the organizations that utilize ICT adequately in managing diversity can gain a competitive advantage, this paper discusses the implications of ICT-based diversity management for organizations and managers.

Gender diversity policies aim to reduce institutional discrimination in a male-dominated society and the underutilization of women in terms of the economy. Extant gender diversity literature has focused on gender diversity policies premised on women being treated as a minority. However, since women-centered occupational groups do exist, women cannot be considered an absolute minority. Therefore, we explored the gender difference in job seekers' reactions to a diversity policy favorable to men. The experiment divided participants into 2 (Gender: Male, Female) × 2 (Diversity: Favorable, Unfavorable), canvassing 329 college students (156 male, 173 female). Participants evaluated the organizational justice and organizational attractiveness of the virtual company by looking at the diversity cues presented in the job posting seeking new employees. As a result, it was confirmed that if the diversity cues presented in the job posting were favorable (vs. unfavorable) to the individual, the organization's distribution justice and procedural justice perceptions were generated differently according to the gender of the job seeker. Moreover, female job seekers perceived distribution justice and procedural justice as higher than male job seekers when they encountered diversity cues that were favorable (vs. unfavorable) to them. In addition, the relationship between diversity cues and organizational attractiveness was mediated by the perception of organizational justice, and this mediating effect was moderated by gender. For women, on the one hand, the mediating effect through the perception of distributive justice and procedural justice was significant in the relationship between diversity cues and organizational attractiveness. On the other hand, the mediating effect alone through the perception of procedural justice was significant for men. Our findings suggest that identical diversity managements are distinguished by individuals' social status or affiliation and may even result in differentiated behaviors.
