Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the relationship of diversity and personality at workplace. This article is a work combining and summarizing two scientific studies focused on the relationship between diversities and personality. Methodology: The research is a quantitative research in terms of the data collection and analysis method and also systematic review method. The first study provides the results of the survey data collected from 532 employees in order to measure employees’ perception of diversity. Its results demonstrated that the personality is the primary source of diversity as the multiple choice questions that were aimed at measuring employees’ perception of diversity. In order to see whether this result has a global equivalent, the second study was conducted. The second study aimed to combine the results of independent studies examining the concepts of “diversity and personality”. By using the systematic review method it analyzed 21 empirical research articles published between 1975-2020 in the ISI Web of Knowledge database.
