Practices of equality in racial diversity at manufacturing industries: Exploring influence on employees’ job performance at the workplace

Abstract

This research study explores the employees’ perception of equality in racial diversity at manufacturing organizations. The total number of sample size is 10, including five number of participants and five different manufacturing firms situated at Kailali district of Nepal with “purposeful sampling technique” and information was gained from interview guide. The key findings showed that organizational change in terms of fair staff recruitment and practice of equal opportunity to all employees assist to meet career goals. Furthermore, positive influence on job performance is possible through increased work commitment, job satisfaction and motivation at work (Susanto et al., 2022). Findings have brought forward the negative influence of job performance from the lack of equality in racially diverse firms in regards to lack of team work and work commitment (HBR, 2020). The implication of effective cross-cultural communication at work would be productive for task execution, ensuring employee engagement and motivation. Along with the practice of equal opportunity for all employees, it is recommended to implement extrinsic and intrinsic motivation pathways to enhance job performance in the long term.
