Abstract:
Research question: A growing strand of studies either analyzes the effects of age or gender diversity on team performance. We contribute to this literature by analyzing whether there is a gender-specific impact of age diversity on team performance. Based on the categorization-elaboration model, we first predict that age diversity in teams leads to better team performance. Second, we hypothesize that gender-mixed teams with age diversity perform significantly worse than single-sex teams with age diversity. Research methods: Our research question is analyzed for biathlon relays of the seasons 20XX/10–20XX/17. We apply pooled OLS, Tobit and random effects regressions to explain the relays shooting precision by the relays age diversity and the gender composition including several controls.
