While sexual orientation diversity can potentially serve as a source of competitive advantage, researchers have largely failed to fully articulate the theoretical linkage between this diversity form and organizational effectiveness. As such, we propose a theoretical framework to understand these dynamics. Sexual orientation diversity is posited to positively contribute to organizational effectiveness through three mechanisms: enhanced decision making capabilities, improved marketplace understanding, and goodwill associated with engaging in socially responsible practices. We also propose two approaches to leveraging the benefits of sexual orientation diversity: targeting the categorization process and creating a proactive and inclusive diversity culture. Contributions and implications are discussed.
虽然性取向多样性可能成为竞争优势的源泉，但研究人员在很大程度上未能充分阐明这种多样性形式与组织有效性之间的理论联系。因此，我们提出了一个理论框架来理解这些动态。性取向多样性通过三种机制对组织有效性产生积极贡献：增强决策能力、提高对市场的理解以及参与社会责任实践所带来的好感。我们还提出了两种利用性取向多样性优势的方法：针对分类过程和创建积极主动和包容的多样性文化。讨论了贡献和意义。
