Abstract:
This research looked at gender diversity and organisational performance of selected banks in South-South Nigerian. The study used a survey research approach to gather data from respondents who work as contract or permanent employees of two particular commercial banks, Polaris Bank and Zenith Bank branches that are now located in Delta State and Edo (five-point Likert scale) structured questionnaire that the researcher used for personal gain at the chosen commercial banks. A sample size of 262 was obtained using the probability sampling approach (multistage random sampling) for this investigation. The research included percentages and frequency tables to describe the analyses. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses, and the correlation coefficient was utilised to determine the link between the independent and dependent variables. The correlation analysis showed that there is a substantial association between the dependent variable (organisational performance) and all of the independent factors (career path planning and intuitive decision making). All of the independent factors had a favourable impact and a substantial link with organisational success, according to the regression analysis. The research came to the conclusion that organisational performance of certain banks in South-South Nigeria is significantly impacted by gender diversity. According to the survey, companies should make an effort to eliminate any little barrier preventing women from moving up the management ranks. It is essential to eliminate any organisational procedures and policies that hinder women from rising to the top positions in their respective fields.
