“…Despite this long, but not exhaustive, list of diversity types, employees tend to attach themselves to people who resemble their characteristics, thus forming ingroups, and leaving others who are different to belong to the outgroups (Iqrahafeez et al, 2020). Workforce diversity could be an advantage for an organization, leading to creativity, innovation, or enhanced problem-solving capabilities (Maqsoom et al, 2023) on the one hand, and a disadvantage, causing conflict, discrimination, or stereotyping (Maqsoom et al, 2020), on the other hand. To minimize the conflicts and maximize the potential of workforce diversity, conflict management is an imperative in any diverse workplace (Kim & Lee, 2022).…”

The relationship between workforce diversity and innovation has recently come to the attention of researchers, numerous studies focusing on the causal relationship between the two terms, but none of them having investigated the specialized literature pertaining to this relationship from a bibliometric perspective. The aim of this paper is to use a bibliometric analysis in order to highlight the way the link between these two concepts evolves within the scientific field. In this sense, 366 Web of Science indexed publications on this topic were selected and analyzed with the help of two popular software - Biblioshiny and VOSviewer. The results highlighted the evolution of academic production on the link between workforce diversity and innovation, their territorial dissemination based on the most productive countries, the collaboration among three of the most influential channels (affiliations, authors, and sources), and the conceptual structure of the scientific production based on keyword co-occurrence analysis, as well as a longitudinal thematic analysis. This study can contribute to the literature through a map of the relationship between workforce diversity and innovation. Its conclusions have led to the idea that employee diversity (in terms of education, ethnicity, race, gender, equity, age) can create all the necessary premises (human capital, knowledge, productivity, cultural diversity, motivation, leadership) for an organization to be innovative and to achieve performance, thus leading to a competitive advantage.

The overall objective of all management practices is to get work done efficiently, at the lowest cost, in the best manner possible, using selected and trained personnel and machinery. Absolute best results cannot be achieved without the full effort of skilled employees with the best office equipment and a good harmonious office environment. Effectiveness in the successful execution of office tasks lies in the selection and use of office space. The facilities provided to do the work help to do the work in the best way. Office space is a prime factor for successful business execution. It is also clear that it does not come easily. When deciding on the suitability of a building, the manager should prepare a thorough checklist of requirements. Naturally, each business organization, department, and office has its own unique needs. Priority levels are assigned once the checklist is prepared. Discussing what is important, wanted, and useful with subordinates helps everyone get a sense of ownership while also demonstrating and confirming priority levels

“…While the existing literature primarily investigates the relationship between diversity factors and accidents [76], health and safety [77,78], and project productivity [79][80][81], there is a need for future research to explore the impact of diversity factors on other outcomes like employee turnover, absenteeism, performance, creativity, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. Future research should also test the underlying mechanisms and moderators that explain how diversity factors influence these outcomes.…”

The significance of a diverse workforce in organizations has been increasingly recognized over the past two decades due to its substantial impact on both organizational and employee performance. This study conducted a bibliometric analysis of research articles on workforce diversity in the construction sector using the Scopus and Web of Science databases. A total of 197 articles were included in the review, revealing a marked increase in research on diversity in the construction industry, with 147 articles published between 2011–2023 compared to 50 articles between 2000–2010. The University of New South Wales emerged as the most productive institution with eleven articles, followed by Loughborough University with eight articles and Universidad De Sevilla with seven articles. This study found that 459 authors contributed to the production of 197 articles. This study underscores the critical importance of diversity in the construction sector and calls for further research to devise effective diversity management strategies. It contributes to the literature by being the first bibliometric review of its kind in this sector, offering valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and industry practitioners. It enhances our understanding of the existing literature and helps identify potential avenues for future research. This original contribution to the field is expected to stimulate further scholarly discourse and practical advancements in managing workforce diversity in the construction industry.
