          The phenomenon of globalization leads to an increase in workforce diversity in many businesses. Human resource diversity orientation strategy plays a pivotal role in determining business success. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the factors affecting human resource diversity orientation strategy. The internal environment contained long-term business vision, human capital orientation and organizational experience value. The external environment consisted of technological uncertainty and environmental pressure that were proposed as antecedents. Data were collected from 137 electronic businesses in Thailand. The hypotheses were tested using the multiple regression analysis. The findings indicate that technological uncertainty, organizational experience value, environmental pressure and long-term business vision had a positive influence on human resource diversity orientation strategy. This research provides a better understanding of diversity strategy for practitioners and researchers under the notion of human resource management. Additionally, the findings suggested possible directions for businesses to increase an effective management towards diversity.
