The study explored the effects of physiological elements of employee diversity on job satisfaction at the workplace and ascertained the influence of psychological diversity climate on the job satisfaction of employees in SMEs in Kogi State. This study employed a survey research design and targeted employees who could provide insights into diversity-related situations. Both descriptive and inferential methods were employed to analyse the collected data. The study used multiple regression analyses to test hypotheses. Results showed that the age of employees has a significant negative effect on job satisfaction. As employees grow older, there is a noticeable trend towards decreasing job satisfaction, and the gender of employees was found to have an insignificant negative effect on job satisfaction, among others. The study recommends, among others, that SME owners or managers should implement age-specific support programmes aimed at addressing the changing needs and preferences of older employees to help sustain and improve their job satisfaction and that managers should conduct regular training sessions to raise awareness and sensitivity among employees regarding religious and diversity-related issues to foster a positive and inclusive work environment.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">34-51</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dana   Egerová</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DIVERSITY MANAGEMENT AS A CRUCIAL ISSUE OF MANAGEMENT IN 21ST CENTURY</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Management in the 21st Century </style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">development</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">diversity management</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">April/2012</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2014/450-1391964666.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">As a result of the growing internationalism and globalization of the labour market but also as a result of dynamic changes in the society in general the concept of diversity management is ever more important. The basis of the concept of diversity management is the nature of diversity itself and this phenomenon has always existed in the human society, be it age, gender, race, ethnicity, mental and physical abilities, sex orientation or any other qualities (Hubbard, 2004, Eger, 2009). It is necessary to realize that the topics connected with diversity exist today and will exist in the future and if any organization strives to survive in the highly competitive surroundings, it has to deal with issues like that.
 Applying the concept of diversity management, recognizing and using diverse ideas, knowledge and perspectives of the members of organizations, those are all factors that contribute to the wealth of any organization significantly and create a real competitive advantage, which, in its final form, can be considered a highly positive and constructive tool for solving the current all-society phenomena in the context of the development of the civic society.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Editorial</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5-7</style></section></record></records></xml>
