“…Gansemer-Topf and Schuh (2006) and Berger (2000) recommended resource allocation strategies to enhance retention and graduation rates. Fincher and Katsinas (2006) provided evidence of improving student retention rates through university executive management. Changing student expectations of higher education was also suggested to increase the retention rates (Longden, 2006).…”

The present study utilizes a multilevel approach to assess the effects of four different types of intervention on college student retention, focusing on the interaction effects between the student characteristics and the types of intervention. The program effects on a 3-year trend are also explored. The findings of the present study reveal that the social integration programs improved the first-year retention rates for female students, the advising programs and the social integration programs worked better in the first year for students from more selective colleges within the university, and the first-year experience programs had a significant lasting effect across the 3 years on retention for elder students and male students. It is also found that the advising programs were significantly more effective on the first-year retention rates than the general orientation programs. This study provides empirical evidence for researchers and administrators in higher education to improve the effectiveness of intervention programs for students with specific characteristics.

“…In contrast, two studies examining access to external financing among young UK firms find no differences between culturally homogeneous and heterogeneous TMTs (Cumming, Meoli, and Vismara 2021;Mole, Hart, Roper, & Saal, 2008), suggesting that the racial/ethnic prejudice in capital markets may be less pronounced for young firms, and/or differ across countries. Further highlighting the importance of the context in determining the effects of TMT cultural diversity on organizational outcomes, empirical studies find some support for positive effects of TMT cultural diversity on nonfinancial performance outcomes in public sector (Fincher & Katsinas 2006;Rutherford 2016) and nonprofit organizations Fulton (2021).…”

Despite its growing social relevance, research on cultural diversity in top management teams (TMTs) has been sparse and fragmented. To build a firm foundation and facilitate the development of this field, we review and synthesize 106 key articles published between 1997 and 2021. Our study provides a comprehensive field map explicating the antecedents and influence of TMT cultural diversity, showing that cultural diversity constitutes a distinct and important aspect of TMT diversity that has significant implications for a variety of outcomes. By critically assessing the field, we identify key research gaps and promising areas for future research.We are grateful for comments from Alan Ellstrand at ICGS 2020 annual meeting. We also thank Sami Elomari, Lofti Karoui, Audra Mockaitis, and seminar audiences at the 7th Critical and Alternative Approaches to Governance Workshop, Barcelona. All errors and omissions remain those of the authors.
