Hypothesis 2,which predicts that decision com-prehensiveness will act as a mediator,received par-
tial support.As shown in model 2 of Table 3,the regression of decision comprehensiveness on pre-
dictors revealed that the interaction of debate and education diversity was positively associated with
x09x09x09x09x09x09
decision comprehensiveness (3 = .20,p < .10),as was the debate-by-tenure-diversity interaction
(f3= .36,p < .01).As shown in model 3,decision comprehensiveness predicted change in profitabil-
ity (3 = .37,p < .01) and change in sales (8 = .42,
p < .01).A comparison of the interactions in model
1 with the interactions in model 3 shows support
for a partial mediating effect.Adding decision comprehensiveness as a predictor in the performance
regressions diminished the effects of debate crossed with education diversity and debate with
tenure diversity on change in profitability and change in sales.This result suggests that decision comprehensiveness partially mediates the effects
on firm performance of the interactions of debate and education diversity and of debate and tenure diversity.
Hypothesis 3 predicts that interactions between more job-related forms of diversity and debate will have stronger positive effects on decision compre-
hensiveness and firm performance than will inter- actions between less job-related forms of diversity
and debate.
