This research investigates the impact of perceived knowledge diversity (PKD) on job outcomes such as job satisfaction (JS) and job performance (JP). Next, this study also explores the moderating role of workforce diversity management (WFDM) on the relationship between PKD and employee job outcomes (EJO). SPSS and AMOS-SEM are used to analyze the data. The findings show that PKD is positively related to JS and negatively associated with JP. WFDM moderates the relationship between PKD and EJO (JS and JP). There are many studies related to diversity and its management, but most of the studies are from an American perspective that deals with diversity related to age, gender, race, ethnicity, etc. (surface-level diversity). The study in diversity in knowledge, value, personality, belief, etc. (deep-level diversity) is scanned in the literature. This study aims to address this void, particularly investigating knowledge diversity in research by establishing how WFDM moderates the relationship between PKD and employee outcomes.

Recently, research on the leadership potential of employees has gradually attracted the attention of scholars. However, further exploration is required to better understand the upward influence of employee’s leadership potential on their leaders. This study examined the mechanisms behind the impact of employee’s leadership potential on leadership ostracism behavior. Moreover, the mediating role of leader’s envy and the moderating role of employee’s political skills in the relationship between employee’s leadership potential and leadership ostracism behavior were investigated. The results of an empirical analysis of 221 employee–leader pairs, studied over multiple periods, are as follows: employee’s leadership potential had a significant positive impact on leader’s envy and leadership ostracism behavior; leader’s envy had a significant positive impact on leadership ostracism behavior; and leader’s envy mediated the relationship between leadership potential and leadership ostracism behavior. In addition, employee’s political skills negatively moderated the indirect effect of leadership potential on leadership ostracism behavior through leader’s envy. The leadership potential of employees with more political skills appeared to have less influence on organizational ostracism via leader’s envy. This study explored the “dark-side” of employee’s leadership potential by understanding its impact on their leaders; the findings have theoretical and practical significance for companies.
