The latest progresses and achievements of deep-level diversity from six aspects has been reviewed, including its dimensions, mechanism, context factors, the interactions between the surface-level diversity and the deep-level diversity, the team faultlines and the cross-level study. Based on our review, we propose an integrated framework to present a number of future researches. We describe these directions to further exploration as follows: the antecedents of deep-level diversity, the cross-level study, team faultlines and its interactions with team outcomes, the relationship between deep-level diversity and team performance regarding to the social network backgrounds.
