Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 6
Abstract
The seeming lack of management support in making deliberate attempts and policies to recognize and encourage diversity in the studied firms, which manifest in the lack of flexibility in work patterns necessitated this study. The broad objective of the study was to determine the type of relationship existing between diversity management and employee performance in Plastic manufacturing Firms in Anambra State. The study adopted a survey research design. The study population was 443 and complete enumeration was adopted. Data were collected using structured questionnaire and were analysed using Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The hypotheses were tested at 5% level of significance. The findings indicated that there was a statistically significant relationship existing between flexible working pattern and employee retention in the selected plastic firms in Anambra State (r = .949 p-value < .05). In conclusion, the study stated that diversity management greatly influences the performance of the employees in the studied organization. It was thus recommended that there should be scheduling of work that will recognize individual differences, strength and weaknesses so as to enhance the employee retention capability of the studied organizations and that more consultations should be inculcated into scheduling of work by management of the studied organizations which will enhance employee retention of the organization.
