Impact of Gender Diversity, Experience, and Team Size on Team Performance: A Quantitative Analysis

Abstract

The effectiveness of teams is a central concern in organizational research, as teams are increasingly relied upon to achieve complex objectives. This study investigates the impact of gender diversity, team experience, and team size on team performance using a quantitative approach. Data were collected from 50 teams across diverse organizational settings, with team performance assessed through standardized evaluation metrics. Employing descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression analyses, the study examines both the direct effects of each variable and their interaction effects on team outcomes. The findings reveal that gender-balanced teams and teams with greater experience consistently outperform less diverse or less experienced teams. Additionally, moderately sized teams exhibit optimal performance, highlighting the importance of team composition in organizational success. The study contributes to the literature on diversity and team dynamics by providing empirical evidence of how demographic and experiential factors shape performance. Implications for human resource management, team design, and leadership practices are discussed, emphasizing strategies to optimize team outcomes through thoughtful composition.
