Most existing research, however, analyses the effects rather than the determinants of diversity management. Using panel data on American hospitals from 2008 to 2011, we probe how market competition, inter‐organizational collaboration and clientele diversity affect diversity management adoption. We find that all three environmental factors increase diversity management adoption. Hospitals in competitive markets are more likely to adopt diversity management strategies when they engage in extensive service collaboration and serve a diverse population. Monopolies in less collaborative environments lag behind in adopting diversity management, especially when they serve ethnically homogenous populations. Our findings broaden understandings about what drives diversity management practices and add to the literature on the external contingency of managerial practice. - Reproduced. aDiversity management916834 aZhu, Ling916835 aPublic Administration  aEnvironment 2ddccAR 00102ddc40709387665aIIPAbIIPAd2020-03-16h97(4), 2019: p.942-959.pAR122786r2020-03-16yAR
