The paper “The Differential Impacts of Team Diversity as Variability Versus Atypicality on Team Effectiveness,” published in Scientific Reports, examines how two types of team diversity—variability and atypicality—affect team performance. Authored by Neelam Modi, Alina Lungeanu, Leslie DeChurch, and Noshir Contractor, this research explores whether teams with varied backgrounds or those with members who all share an underrepresented status work better and why. This study provides important insights for organizations looking to improve their team strategies.
