Abstract:
This study explored the impact of workplace discrimination on employees’
performance. The descriptive survey research design was employed. The convenience
sampling technique was employed to select 100 workers sampled from the
administrative staff of the University of Education, Winneba. Questionnaire was used
as data collection tool. The data was analysed descriptively by using percentages and
inferentially by the correlation analysis thus Pearson Product Moment Correlation
coefficients. Results revealed that there was statistically significant negative
relationship between gender discrimination and employees’ performance, ethnic
discrimination and employees’ performance and religion discrimination and
employees’ performance. It was found that there was no significant relationship
between age discrimination and employees’ performance. It was recommended that
Managers should enact workplace policy to reduce discrimination and such policy
should be reviewed frequently to ensure that its effectiveness is maintained
