THE IMPACT OF WORK PLACE DIVERSITY AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN UNIVERSITY OF BENIN

The background of this study is rooted in the recognition of the growing significance of workplace diversity within contemporary organizations such as the prestigious university of Benin. Workplace diversity encompasses a broad spectrum of differences among employees, including but not limited to factors such as race, gender, age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical abilities, and cultural backgrounds (Cox, 1994; Cox & Blake, 1991). This array of diversities enriches the composition of the workforce and contributes to the evolving tapestry of today's professional landscape.
