Abstract:
This study broadly examined the performance implication of workplace diversity on selected banks in Delta State but specifically determined the influence of educational background diversity on employee commitment in banks in Delta State. This study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population of the study consisted of all the employees of Deposit Money banks in Asaba, Delta State. A non-probability-purposive sampling method was used to select sixteen banks that have their branches in Asaba, Delta State. A total number of 353 employees were obtained from the records of the sixteen banks under study and a complete enumeration method was adopted for the sample size. The instrument used for the data collection was a Likert Scale questionnaire validated using face and content validity and the reliability test was conducted using the Cronbach Alpha method. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and the hypothesis was tested at a 5% level of significance. Findings showed that educational background diversity has a statistically significance influence on employee commitment in banks in Delta State (R = 0.929; R2 = 0.863; F-statistic = 331.601; t = 28.579; P-value = 0.000 < .05). The study recommended that managers should give a form of incentives to employees who improve on their educational qualification or those individuals who were able to align their personal values with the organizational values.
