【 摘 要 】

This study examined the effect of teamwork on diversity-related perceptions of the FAA workforce. Recent research suggests that one means of improving the diversity climate of an organization is through the implementation of teams. To assess this conjecture in the FAA, three measures of diversity climate perceptions were examined: employee perceptions of the agency's success in elimination of hostile work environment behaviors, success of the Model Work Environment plan, and personal support for the model work environment vision. Teamwork and organization were examined, controlling for minority status, gender, age, supervisory status, agency and job tenure, and work setting.
