Abstract

From antiquity, the history of man has been characterized by discrimination, which includes gender and ethnic discrimination. In Nigeria, several attempts have been made to eliminate these discriminations, howbeit, its prevalence is still widely seen. This study investigated demographic characteristics, discrimination at work and performance among civil servants in Nigeria. The study used the correlational survey research design and a simple random sampling technique. Oyo State was selected at randomly from the 36 states in Nigeria and a Local Government Area was selected randomly. The local government selected was Akinyele Local Government Area. Also, a sample size of 100 respondents was selected for the study and the questionnaire was used to obtain information from them. The Binary Logistic regression and regression analysis was used to analyse data obtained from the field. Result showed that civil servants who have secondary and tertiary education were significant (p 0.05). Individuals who are married are not performing well at work (p<0.05). In addition, there was a negative significant relationship between respondents discrimination at work and their performance at work (p= 0.05). In conclusion, gender discrimination in Nigeria does not exist again nevertheless, ethnic discrimination is still prevalent in the nation. The governments at all levels should endeavour to provide and put in place necessary policy to intervene in this national menace of discrimination. It is then sustainable national development can be achieved as every individual irrespective of where you are from and where you live will receive equal treatment.
