Abstract
Workforce diversity can be an important instrument for firms, not to only enhance their organizational performance, but also to achieve a competitive edge against their business rivals in the business market, attain sustainability and deliver the required services to customers. This study examined the Effect of Workforce Diversity on Organisational Performance of Selected Public Sector Organizations in Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design in which 2169 respondents were selected from a population of 4750 staff using a judgmental (purposive) sampling technique. The study relied on a self-developed structured questionnaire as the instrument of data collection. Using SPSS version 20 software, descriptive statistics (frequency count, percentage count, mean, and standard deviation) and multiple regression analysis were used to assess the data that had been collected. The findings of the study revealed that Job-related diversity has a significant effect on employee job satisfaction in public sector organizations in Nigeria (β=0.441, p<0.05) and that Cultural diversity has a significant effect on employee job satisfaction in public sector organizations in Nigeria (β=-0.080, p<0.05). Therefore, the study concluded that when a diverse workforce is trained and managed properly, diversity in the workplace can leverage the strengths and complement the weaknesses of each worker resulting in synergistic performance, making the impact of the workforce greater than the sum of its parts. Diversity management benefits organizations by creating a fair and safe environment where everyone has access to the same opportunities and challenges, thereby displaying their creativity and innovativeness. Based on these findings, the study recommended that Organizational leaders should formulate laws and policies on equal employment, that ensure the most qualified employees are recruited, irrespective of their cultural background, ethnic group, and gender in order to encourage creativity and innovation in the organization.
