Studies have shown its management or mismanagement can affect the overall performance of the commercial banks in financial service sector. It is in this context and against this backdrop that this study explores the impact of Workplace Diversity proxied by Age diversity, Gender diversity, Ethnic Diversity, Income diversity, Education Diversity and Belief diversity on the dependent variable, employee performance proxied by the employee effectiveness. The study adopted a survey research design. While the study population consisted of all twenty-two Commercial Banks in Nigeria. A sample size of three hundred (300) respondents was selected. The internet mail survey had a 90% response rate. Data collection was by use of questionnaire through internet MS survey link. Analysis was by use of descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS version 25.0. The Regression analysis coefficient indicated the strength and direction of relationship between each independent variables and the dependent variable and tested at 5% significance level. The study therefore concludes that workplace diversity variables like Gender diversity, Income diversity, Ethnic Diversity and Belief diversity have significant impact on the employee effectiveness thus their respective performance. However, Age and Educational diversity is found to be having no significant effect on performance of employees in the organization. The study was concluded with few recommendations and limitations. The study recommended that in order to leverage on the existing and observed diversity impact on employee effectiveness, the organizations need to begin to get conscious of why it is needful that they deal with demographic characteristics to gain a competitive advantage over competitors and stay competitive and make certain that great effort is taken to ensure that workers are properly informed of the present or existing initiatives and programmes of diversity and ensure to educate or train existing and newly employed employees on issues of diversity and its importance.","PeriodicalId":140802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Resource and Sustainability Studies","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134457119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The survey with these leaders focused on their leadership attributes specifically their leadership traits, styles, and skills. The different Leadership Approach Inventory instruments created by Peter G. Northouse (2013) were utilized in this study wherein the respondents were asked to rate themselves along several statements that describe various key practices and characteristics associated with leadership. In addition, thematic analysis was conducted to explore the participants’ personal philosophies as a leader, their perceptions of what a good leader ought to have, and their views on existing culture within the organization. Results showed that although majority of the participants possess traits related to extroversion, there appears to be a need to practice more discernment in dealing with personnel. Most of the department heads also showcase a people-centered leadership style, which suits Filipino culture. These were supported in the thematic analysis wherein the participants’ views on good leadership centered on characteristics that deal with interpersonal relationships. In terms of skills, technical and human skills were more prominent over conceptual ability. Participants also stressed the importance of maintaining good relations with the administration for better accomplishment of goals.","PeriodicalId":140802,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Resource and Sustainability Studies","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114187500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to determine the change that occur in the performance of primary healthcare entities and compare the outputs of block and segmented LMG trainings and the intervention as a whole after implementation for one full year.ResultsTwo hundred and ninety-three LMG trained and 333 non-trained health workers participated with a response rate of 100 percent and 87 percent, respectively. Of those who attended the didactics sessions, 235 (80.9%) scored 70% or more on post-test exams. In addition, the assessment on the practical exercises after implementing the leadership projects revealed that the majority, 252 (86%) scored 80% or more on their desired measurable results. As a result of the LMG trainings, management systems, work climate, and responsiveness of the health system to new challenges were significantly improved (p<0.001).

Worldwide studies have revealed that doctors have to deal with quite several extraneous difficult tasks in their day-to-day working environment resulting in a high percentage of doctors quitting this noble profession. However, there is a lack of evidence relating to the role of gender in this whole problem. Therefore, this assessed moderating role of gender between work-family conflict and job satisfaction in the case of Ghanaian doctors during the novel coronavirus era. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed to select three hundred and sixty-four (364) doctors for this study. A structured E-questionnaires was distributed using social media platform, mainly to collect data from study participants. Although, gender and work-family conflict were significantly related to job satisfaction, gender did not moderate the relationship between work-family conflict and job satisfaction.
