Influences on Group Productivity. 2. Factors Inherent in the Person

Abstract

The present summary examines the effects of heterogeneity on a group's productivity. Heterogeneity has been defined on many different dimensions without much consistency between workers. For the sake of clarity, we have grouped the studies by the type of variable used to define heterogeneity : personality variables or sociodemographic variables. In all the studies surveyed, these different variables have served as the independent dimension.
