The impact of size and diversity on group process and outputs. This study has analyzed the impact of size and diversity on group processes (group cohesion, effective management of conflicts, and group norms) and outputs (work satisfaction and group effectiveness) in a sample (N= 407) of Mexican workers. It considered two types of diversity: functional and social diversity. Hierarchical regression analysis revealed main effects for size and functional diversity. Size is negatively associated with group norms, effective management of conflicts and job satisfaction. Functional diversity is positively related to group norms and cohesion. However, social diversity was not related to group process and outcomes. The analysis revealed a moderating effect of functional diversity on the relationship between size and job satisfaction. The practical implications of these results are analyzed.
规模与多样性对团队过程及产出的影响。本研究分析了规模与多样性对墨西哥工人样本（N = 407）的团队过程（团队凝聚力、冲突的有效管理及团队规范）和产出（工作满意度及团队效能）的影响。研究考虑了两种类型的多样性：职能多样性和社会多样性。分层回归分析揭示了规模和职能多样性的主要影响。规模与团队规范、冲突的有效管理及工作满意度呈负相关。职能多样性与团队规范及凝聚力呈正相关。然而，社会多样性与团队过程及结果无关。分析揭示了职能多样性对规模与工作满意度之间关系的调节作用。本文分析了这些结果的实际意义。
