The Positive and Negative Effectsof Diverse Work Environments
Social categorization theory holds that similarities and differences are used
as a basis for categorizing self and others into groups, with ensuing categorizations distinguishing between one’s own in-group and one or more out-groups.
People tend to like and trust in-group members more than out-group members and generally favor in-groups over out-groups

Reconciling the Effects of Diverse Work Environments
Demographic fault line “hypothetical dividing lines that may split a
group into subgroups based on one or more attributes.”
Fault lines form when work-group members possess varying demographic characteristics and negative interpersonal processes occur when people align themselves based on salient fault lines or demographic characteristics.
