This document summarizes a study examining how personality traits influence preferences for diverse or non-diverse workplaces. The study hypothesized that openness to experience, extroversion, and agreeableness would correlate with preference for diversity, while neuroticism and conscientiousness would correlate with preference for non-diversity. Participants viewed company profiles varying in diversity and culture, then rated their interest and completed a personality assessment. On average, participants preferred diverse workplaces. Those high in openness especially preferred diversity. These findings aid understanding of individual differences in workplace preferences, especially as organizations aim to increase diversity.

Submitted to: Ms. Fides Marie Avelino Literature or Study This study examines whether personality factors influence individuals’ preferences for racially diverse, versus non-diverse, workplaces. We hypothesized that individuals who are high in openness to experience, extroversion and agreeableness would be more attracted to a racially diverse workplace, whereas individuals high in neuroticism and conscientiousness would be less attracted to a diverse workplace. Undergraduate participants completed an online survey after viewing a company fact sheet with either high or low minority representation among its employees and a traditional or open company culture. After viewing the fact sheet, participants indicated the extent to which they found it an appealing place to work and completed the Big Five Personality Scale. On average, participants significantly preferred the racially diverse workplace to the one that had few minorities. In addition, participants who were high in openness to experience especially preferred the racially diverse organization. These findings are important because they aid in a better understanding of individual differences in workplace preferences, especially as organizations are trying to become more diverse.
