Drawing from creative capital theory, the purpose of this study was to examine the degree to which sexual orientation diversity and commitment to diversity were predictive of workplaces that fostered creativity. Data were collected from 653 senior level athletic administrators and aggregated to the athletic department level of analysis (n = 199). Moderated regression indicated that sexual orientation diversity did not influence the presence of a creative work environment. There was however, a significant sexual orientation diversity × commitment to diversity interaction. When commitment to diversity was high, there was a positive association between sexual orientation diversity and a creative work environment; on the other hand, when commitment to diversity was low, the aforementioned relationship was negative. Results provide support for the notion that all diversity forms can be a source of enrichment and understanding, thereby benefiting the workplace.
本研究以创意资本理论为基础，旨在探讨性取向多样性和对多样性的承诺对促进创造力的工作场所的预测程度。数据来自 653 名高级体育行政管理人员，并汇总到体育部门的分析水平（n=199）。调节回归表明，性取向多样性并不影响创造性工作环境的存在。然而，存在一个显著的性取向多样性×多样性承诺的交互作用。当多样性承诺较高时，性取向多样性与创造性工作环境之间存在正相关关系；另一方面，当多样性承诺较低时，上述关系为负相关。研究结果支持这样一种观点，即所有形式的多样性都可以成为丰富和理解的源泉，从而使工作场所受益。
