EFFECT OF INTERNAL DIMENSION OF EMPLOYEE DIVERSITY ON PERFORMANCE OF ACADEMIC STAFF IN SELECTED PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN KENYA.2411-5681http://ir-library.ku.ac.ke/handle/123456789/25985ArticleThe 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 sectorsenemployee performanceemployee diversityworkforce diversityprimary dimensionInternal dimensionArticle
