“…The population of this study comprised lower-, middle-, and senior-level workers from the telecommunications sector of Jiangsu Province, China. The province selection was based on the fact that Jiangsu Province is considered one of the richest provinces of China (Wei et al, 2020). Specifically, data for this study were collected from three telecommunications companies located in Jiangsu Province, China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom from September 2019 to June 2020.…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of workforce diversity management on employee job performance in the Chinese organizational context, considering the mediating effect of person-job match and employee commitment and the moderating effect of structural empowerment. Data were collected from 400 telecommunication sector employees in China. All hypotheses were tested through structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings of the study illustrated that workforce diversity management has a positive and significant impact on employee job performance. Furthermore, the results indicated that person-job match and employee commitment partially mediate the relationship between workforce diversity management and employee job performance. Moreover, structural empowerment directly affects employee job performance, whereas a moderating effect is also found in the relationship between workforce diversity management and employee job performance. Finally, implications and limitations are discussed.

“…Only by revealing the essential relationship between symmetry and geographical regularity can basic theories of human geography and urban geography be better developed. Existing scholars' research and the exploration of population flow patterns have initially reached the conclusion that there is an imbalance in time and space [13,17,[75][76][77]. The sources and destinations of population migration are becoming more concentrated and strengthened with time [51,53].…”

“…The direction of population mobility represents the flow and agglomeration trend of resources and production factors [8,9], which reflects not only the uneven development of a place gradually becoming industrial agglomeration centers and economic growth poles in the process of urbanization, but also a manifestation of the deep-seated market and government factors reshaping the spatial development pattern in the process of resource allocation [10][11][12][13]. However, the continuous administrative influence of Chinese governments at all levels on the integration and allocation of social and economic resources has led to differential policy design across regions [14][15][16] and, to a certain extent, regional and institutional obstacles to population mobility [17]. Therefore, the research scale of population mobility should not be too large.…”

Population mobility patterns are an important reflection of the future distribution of migrant populations and the evolution trends of urbanization patterns. However, although research based on statistical data can reveal the pattern of population flow, it also shows a time lag. Most of the population flow network research based on location services data has failed to fully discuss the symmetry of directional outflows and inflows in the same place and the two-way symmetrical connections between places. This paper creatively proposes and constructs the concept and analysis framework of population flow asymmetry. We used the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) as a typical case and the results of our analysis reveal the temporal and spatial asymmetry of the population flow using complex network analysis methods based on the Spring Festival (SF) population migration big data. We found that the timing asymmetry manifested in such a way that the closer it was to the festival, the greater the scale and intensity of the population movement. This is a feature of the lack of scale and regional differences within China. The spatial asymmetry was manifested in three aspects, network, node, and link, and the core cities with administrative and economic hierarchical advantages dominated the asymmetric pattern of regional population mobility. In addition, distance and administrative boundaries are factors that cannot be ignored in population movements, and they were implicated in the degree of asymmetry by distance enhancement and administrative boundary blocking. The conclusions of this study can not only provide policy decision-making guidelines for population management and resource allocation in the YRD, but they can also provide a reference value for achieving the goal of regional, high-quality, integrated development. Future research will further the discussion and management of socio-economic attributes in order to develop a more detailed and microscopic understanding of the mechanisms of population mobility patterns.

“…In the process of regional economic growth, due to the scarcity of resources, it is only possible to give priority to development in areas with better innate endowments and attract resources from surrounding areas to continuously accumulate to them to generate scale effects, and then promote other regions through efficient resource allocation. Therefore, unbalanced development among regions is inevitable [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. In the early stage of the transformation of the economic system, concentrating resources to develop one region will help to achieve the goal of economic growth, form a “polarized” development pole, leading to the continuous widening of the gap, resulting in a “siphon” effect, which affects the development of surrounding areas, especially backward regions.…”

Economic spatial polarization is a manifestation of unbalanced urban development. To study the unbalanced development of Chinese cities, this paper selects 41 cities in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region, introduces the polarization index and exploratory spatio-temporal analysis to portray their spatio-temporal evolution process, and analyzes the differences in spatial polarization patterns of economic development in three dimensions of economic quantity, quality, and structure. Finally, we use the geographic detector model to explore the driving factors and then propose corresponding policy recommendations. The results show that: (1) the degree of difference in economic development in the YRD region narrowed from 2000 to 2019, and the spatial polarization level of urban economic development showed a fluctuating downward trend, among which the spatial polarization level of the economic structure dimension has been increasing. (2) In terms of spatial distribution, the “Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration” has economic spatial polarization in the YRD region has become the peak contiguous zone, and the spatial polarization of economic quantity and quality dimensions has formed a “polycentric” pattern, while the spatial polarization of economic structure dimensions shows a stable “one core, multiple sub-center” distribution. (3) From the evolution of spatial polarization, most cities have strong spatial locking characteristics without a transition. Spatially positive polarized are concentrated in the YRD urban agglomeration, and the inter-city neighboring relations are mainly positive synergistic growth, while the negatively polarized cities are mostly distributed in the peripheral areas of the YRD and the neighboring relations are negative synergistic growth. At the same time, the spatially positive polarization effect of the economic quantity dimension and the spatially negative polarization effect of the economic structure dimension among cities are more significant. (4) The economic spatial polarization in the YRD region is mainly dominated by market prosperity and urbanization level, while the driving effect of scientific and technological innovation development on the urban economy has also been expanding in recent years. Promoting the reasonable allocation of marketization, urbanization, and technology among cities with positive and negative spatial polarization in the future will contribute to balanced urban and regional economic development in a coordinated and orderly manner.
