摘要:The aim of this research is to explore the common theoretical perspectives in diversity research. The need for such a research comes from the lack of literature on understanding and emphasising theoretical differences amongst diversity research based on the focus of the studies that can be either performance or non- performance based. For this reason, having adopted this aim, we discuss the categorisation of “business case for diversity” and “ethical case for diversity” as a comprehensive discussion. Thus, we provided a conceptual contribution to the diversity literature through indicating the need for awareness of research focus.
