The study of the effect of Top Management Team (TMT) diversity on organization
performance produces mixed results. This study investigated the effect of involvement
culture on the relationship between TMT diversity and organization performance. The
target respondents were the Heads of Human Resources in all the commercial banks in
Kenya and out of the 43 targeted banks, 33 responded. The questionnaire was the main
tool of data collection and the data was analyzed using regression analyses. Past studies
have shown that the question as to whether diversity leads to organization performance
depends of the performance measures used. Since past studies have shown mixed
results on the effect of TMT diversity on organization performance, the study used
involvement culture as a moderating variable and found that it had a significant effect
on the relationship between TMT diversity and organization performance. As a result,
since most organizations have diversity at the TMT, they need to make deliberate
efforts and invest in good management practices which enhance organization
performance. Future studies can find out which other moderating variables have a
positive effect on the relationship between TMT diversity and organization
performance.
