This book provides a comprehensive and systematic assessment of the application of Simpson's diversity index to the workplace. It offers human resources practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors a hands-on guide on how to measure and analyze demographic and organizational diversity with the Simpson diversity index. Examples of the application of the diversity index to employment data are provided throughout the book, while the text also illustrates the use of ordinary least squares, robust, Tobit, and ridge regression methods to assess how organizational and workplace factors influence age, ethnic, gender, and organizational diversity.
Assessing Organizational Diversity with Structural Equation Modeling applies partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to standardized and rank ordered latent composites of workforce diversity to endogenous composites of organizational performance of diversity. In so doing, this book offers human resources practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors a hands-on guide on how to apply PLS-SEM in an organizational setting to assess the direct and indirect statistical relationships amongst exogenous and mediating composites and endogenous composites of organizational performance. Examples of standardized and rank-ordered PLS-SEM analyses are provided throughout the book. This book illustrates how to analyze and assess the direct and indirect statistical relationships of exogenous and mediating latent composites on different types of organizational performance such as human capital return on investment and net profit margin.
This book provides a comprehensive and systematic assessment of the application of the Index of Qualitative Variation (IQV) to the workplace. Like its preceding companion books, this book offers human resources practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors a hands-on guide on how to measure demographic and organizational diversity. Examples of how the IQV is applied to employment data are provided throughout the book. Consistent with its preceding companion books, this book illustrates the use of ordinary least squares, quantile, ridge, robust, and Tobit regression methods to assess how organizational and workplace factors influence age, ethnic, gender, and organizational diversity.
This book provides a comprehensive and systematic assessment of the application of Shannon-based diversity indices to the workplace. It offers human resources practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors a hands-on guide on how to measure demographic and organizational diversity with the Hill, Heip, Hurlbert, and Sheldon evenness indices. Examples of the application of the indices to employment data are provided throughout the book, while the text also illustrates the use of ordinary least squares, robust, Tobit, and ridge regression methods to assess how organizational and workplace factors influence age, ethnic, gender, and organizational diversity.
This book applies quantile regression to standardized indices of diversity at the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. In so doing, the book offers human resources practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors a hands-on guide to applying quantile regression in an organizational setting. Examples of quantile regression analyses are provided throughout the book. Specifically, this book illustrates how to analyze the index of qualitative variation (IQV), and the McIntosh, Shannon, Simpson, and Smith and Wilson indices with quantile regression.
This book systematically analyzes the measurement validity and reliability of the standardized diversity scores used to quantify age, ethnic, and gender heterogeneity in organizations. It offers human resources practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors a hands-on guide on how to assess the measurement reliability and the construct and measurement validity of standardized diversity scores. Examples of measurement validity and reliability assessments are provided throughout the book; more specifically, this book illustrates the use of correlation and factor analyses to assess the validity and reliability of standardized diversity scores.
Assessing Organizational Diversity with the Smith and Wilson Indices provides a comprehensive and systematic assessment of the application of Simpson-based diversity indices to the workplace. It offers human resources practitioners and researchers in the nonprofit, private, and public sectors a hands-on guide on how to measure demographic and organizational diversity with the Hussein and Khan, Ray and Singer, Smith and Wilson, and Wilcox evenness indices. Examples of the application of the indices to employment data are provided throughout the book, while the text also illustrates the use of ordinary least squares, quantile, ridge, robust, and Tobit, regression methods to assess how organizational and workplace factors influence age, ethnicity, gender, and organizational diversity.

A guide to the implementation and interpretation of Quantile Regression models This book explores the theory and numerous applications of quantile regression, offering empirical data analysis as well as the software tools to implement the methods. The main focus of this book is to provide the reader with a comprehensive description of the main issues concerning quantile regression; these include basic modeling, geometrical interpretation, estimation and inference for quantile regression, as well as issues on validity of the model, diagnostic tools. Each methodological aspect is explored and followed by applications using real data. Quantile Regression: Presents a complete treatment of quanti...
