Abstract: Abstract The study of diversity climates is as complicated as the study of diversity itself. Despite the call for more sophisticated and multi-dimensional approaches to the study of diversity climates, few empirical efforts have been designed to do so, as the literature remains replete with work bifurcating and labeling diversity climates as positive or negative, productive or unproductive. Results from this study provide empirical support that worldview climate is indeed multi-dimensional, comprised of three distinctive, yet overlapping dimensions: productive, unproductive, and provocative. Implications for both scholars and practitioners, as well as directions for future research are discussed.
