| Abstract: | Should an organization hire people with similar backgrounds or with different backgrounds? The authors formulate this question within the framework of team theory. The team is formed by n agents. The type of each agent is endogenous and determines his information structure and his cost for the team. The authors show that the sign of complementarity between jobs determines workforce homogeneity. |
