1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In spite of the
great contributions of the public service to the economic growth and
development of the Nigerian economy, the capacity of the human capital
has been limited by ethnicity in the industry. Organizations greatly
rely on the performance of their employees and the performance of
employees also relies so much on the ethnic diversity of the firms which
obviously influences the performance of employees. When an organisation
does not have a conducive and enabling environment for practicing
workforce diversity, employees will be deprived of all the positive
benefits that would have resulted from a better management of workforce
diversity such as motivation, knowledge and skill transfer, creativity
and better decision-making thereby demotivating those in the
organization who would have become the catalysts for better service
delivery and organizational growth. Also, if workforce diversity is not
handled correctly, the formation of various groups will occur; this
could lead to miscommunication, emotional conflicts, power struggle and
ultimately to high turnover of employees. The diverse workforce will
then become an inhibitor for organisational growth. When workforce
diversity, that is, ethnic diversity, age, educational background,
cultural background, and sexes of the employees are relegated to the
background, the service delivery, competitive edge, profitability among
others of the organisation seem to collapse due to lack of team work
among the employees; within a heterogeneous workforce, a variety of
values and work habits would be found in which supervisors would need to
become skilled at managing diversity (Mustapha, 2016).
