Abstract: One of the focal points of research in the diversity management discourse has been analyzing how the managers and other decision-makers perceived diversity while less focus has been placed on the employee's attitudes toward workplace diversity. In order to develop the present analysis, a systematic review was chosen to investigate previous literature on diversity management, workplace diversity, and employee attitudes toward diversity. The first objective of our paper is to identify if there is an alignment between the main findings of the studies that focused on measuring the attitudes to workplace diversity, determining the relation between context and diverse attitudes. The second objective is to analyze the preferred methodologies used by researchers to gather empirical evidence as the subject of measuring attitudes to workforce diversity has been fairly understudied in the diversity management discourse. The findings from 14 national contexts suggest either neutral or positive attitudes to workplace diversity, with a high influence of context and modest generalizability of the results.
