Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of internal dimension on performance of
academic staff in selected public universities in Kenya. The study was anchored on role theory.
Descriptive cross sectional research design was used to obtain data concerning the current status of
internal dimension and performance of academic staff variables. The target population constituted 7143
academic staff from six purposefully selected public universities whch included; University of Nairobi,
Moi university, Kenyatta university, Egerton university, Jomo Kenyatta university of Agriculture and
Technology and Maseno university. A sample size of 379 academic staff was randomly selected using
proportionate random and systematic sampling. A semi-structured questionnaire in Survey Monkey
format was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used. The study
hypotheses were tested at 95% confidence level. The results indicate that internal dimension had no
significant effect on performance of academic staff. The study suggests that future research should focus
on broadening internal dimension study to other dimensions that constitute workforce diversity. More
research should also be undertaken in other industries for further generalization of findings to broad
sectors
