Abstract
Description
This study has examined the relationship that exists between diversity, inclusion and organizational viability. The areas of diversity the study considered are gender, religion and ethnicity while the areas of viability the study considered are market share, sales volume and efficiency of production. Three objectives, research questions, as well as hypotheses were formulated to establish the degree of relationship between the dependent and independent variables. Data for the study were generated from the primary source as the questionnaire was the major instrument used to generate data. Appropriate use of statistical tables and percentages were used in the presentation of data from the questionnaire distributed. The study used frequency, percentages in analyzing the questionnaire while simple regression and correlation were used via Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) in testing the hypotheses. The study found that the p-value is 0.000, which is less than the level of significance (0.05), and thereby conclude that there is a positive significant relationship between gender diversity, inclusion and market share, ethnicity diversity, inclusion and sales volume, and religion diversity, inclusion and efficiency of production. Based on the findings, the study recommends among others that Management should engage their workers in on-the-job training in order for them to understand that ethnicity is not a barrier and should be inclusive as ethnic barriers decrease sales volume of firms.
