Abstract

PurposeThe study aims to present an in-depth review of previous research on relational demography (individual–team dissimilarity) over the past 30 years. In doing so, the authors highlighted the main theoretical underpinnings, teased out the common methodological approaches and identified the major mediating processes and contingency factors that influence relational demography's effect on individual outcomes in teams.Design/methodology/approachThe authors searched and examined eight databases (ABI/INFORM Complete, ProQuest, EBSCO, Web of Science, JSTOR, PsycARTICLES, PsycINFO and Science Direct) and distilled 106 studies from 34 journals. The authors synthesized and analyzed this body of work to identify extant patterns and themes in relational demography.FindingsThe findings reveal that the majority of theories used are categorized into three segments. The antecedents used are mainly surface- and deep-level variables, while the outcomes are classified into personal- and work-related constructs. For research testing, Euclidean distance and Blau's index are primarily utilized as heterogeneity measures, while various forms of regression are used as the analytical tool for hypotheses testing.Originality/valueExtant literature reviews on relational demography are scant. This study provides an extensive synthesis and analysis of the studies in the area over the past 30 years and offers an agenda that can motivate future research.

组织中的关系人口学:一个被探索和被忽视的评估

目的本研究旨在对近30年来的关系人口学(个体-团队差异)研究进行深入回顾。在此过程中，作者强调了主要的理论基础，梳理了常用的方法方法，并确定了影响关系人口统计学对团队中个人结果影响的主要中介过程和偶然因素。作者检索并检查了8个数据库(ABI/INFORM Complete、ProQuest、EBSCO、Web of Science、JSTOR、PsycARTICLES、PsycINFO和Science Direct)，并从34种期刊中提取了106项研究。作者综合并分析了这一工作主体，以确定关系人口学中现存的模式和主题。研究结果研究结果显示，大多数使用的理论可分为三类。使用的先行词主要是表层和深层变量，而结果则分为个人和工作相关的构念。对于研究检验，欧几里得距离和布劳指数主要作为异质性度量，而各种形式的回归作为分析工具进行假设检验。原创性/价值现存的关于关系人口统计学的文献综述很少。本研究对过去30年来该领域的研究进行了广泛的综合和分析，并提出了一个可以激励未来研究的议程。

期刊介绍： The Baltic region has experienced rapid political and economic change over recent years. The challenges to managers and management researchers operating within the area are often different to those experienced in other parts of the world. The Baltic Journal of Management contributes to an understanding of different management cultures and provides readers with a fresh look at emerging management practices and research in the countries of the Baltic region and beyond.
