Abstract
Research documenting the influence of demopraphic diversity on informal social networks is reviewed and critiqued. I focus in particular on research describing the importance of demographic diversity in the development of strong interpersonal relationships. I also consider the importance of network connections between team members and with colleagues outside the team in mediating the association between demographic diversity and team performance.
