Based on the results of interview analysis, a 30-question questionnaire was first designed, then in the quantitative section, using exploratory factor analysis, this questionnaire was summarized into 5 factors and 26 questions, and finally, in the confirmatory factor analysis section, after fitting the model and removing 3 question and another component, the diversity management questionnaire was designed with 23 questions and 4 components including fair treatment, active and obedient diversity, equal treatment and benefits.
