Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In-group favoritism can result in the similarity effect in organizations, which means that individuals tend to favor and associate with those who are similar to them in some way (e.g. same race, gender, age, education level, etc.). This can result in a lack of diversity and a potential decrease in overall organizational performance.
