Background: Community Health Center is a first-level health service facility that organizes public health efforts and individual health efforts. Good health service is supported by work performance of the health personnel. This study aimed to analyze the contextual effect of community health center and socio determinants on the work performance of health personnel. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted at Karanganyar community health centers, in Karanganyar, Central Java, from October to November 2019. A sample of 210 health workers was selected randomly. The dependent variable was work performance. The independent variables were age, education, tenure, distribution of services, work motivation, job skills, job satisfaction, health center accreditation status, and work environment. Data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by a multilevel multiple logistic regression run on Stata 13. Results: Good work performance increased with age ≥38 years (b= 1.09; 95% CI= 0.19 to 1.99; p= 0.018), adequate service (b= 0.96; 95% CI= -0.28 to 2.19; p= 0.128), high motivation (b= 0.93; 95% CI= 0.09 to 1.77; p= 0.030), good job skills (b= 0.97; 95% CI= 0.06 to 1.88; p= 0.037), good job satisfaction (b= 0.92; 95% CI= 0.05 to 1.78; p= 0.037), and good working environment (b= 0.95; 95% CI= 0.11 to 1.80; p= 0.026). Good work performance decreased with education ≥Diploma III (b= -0.40; 95% CI= -1.67 to 0.87; p= 0.535) and tenure ≥3 years (b= -0.71; 95% CI= -1.79 to 0.37; p= 0.199). Community health center had strong contextual effect on work performance with ICC= 18.00%. Conclusion:Good work performance increases with age ≥38 years, adequate service, high motivation, good job skills, good job satisfaction, and good working environment.

Gender diversity is an essential aspect of both private and public organizations. The concept has continued to evolve because of the need to tap into different abilities possessed by different gender at the workplace. However, previous studies have not indicated to what extent workforce diversity is related to employee performance in various organizations. On this basis, the paper sought to investigate the relationship between gender diversity and employee performance in the County Government of Bomet, Kenya. The paper was guided by social identity theory. The study adopted a correlational research design, and the target population was 3,320 employees working in various departments within the County Government of Bomet. Fisher's formula was used to determine the sample size for the study, which was 91. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. The reliability of the research instrument was examined through the use of Cronbach's alpha coefficient, where an alpha coefficient of 0.850 was obtained. Content and construct validity of the instrument validity were ensured through extensive literature review and consultation with human resource management subject experts. Data analysis was done using correlation and regression analysis. Data were presented using frequency tables, means, and standard deviation. According to the study results, it was revealed gender diversity revealed a positive relationship (r=0.689; p<0.05) with employee performance. In general, gender diversity influenced employee performance by 72.3% (R2= 0. 723). According to the study findings, it was recommended that county governments ought to advocate for workforce diversity, explicitly focusing on gender diversity to increase employee performance.

“…Aunque cada vez se entiende la diversidad como un concepto amplio, gran parte de las medidas se centran en lograr la igualdad efectiva al género de sus trabajadores, es decir entre hombres y mujeres. Por su parte, Odhiambo et al (2018) afirman que las tendencias contemporáneas en el marco legal han requerido la puesta en marcha específica de estatutos que hacen ilegal discriminar por motivos como edad, sexo, estado civil, raza, nacionalidad, origen étnico, discapacidad, orientación sexual, religión o creencias, afiliación eStudio Sobre la perCepCión de loS eMpleadoS o no pertenencia a un sindicato, trabajadores a tiempo parcial o completo, entre otros.…”

“…Cada generación cree que sus puntos son únicos. Odhiambo et al (2018) encontraron en su estudio que las organizaciones que practican la diversidad generacional, los beneficios se acumulan tanto para la organización como para los empleados. Tener un ambiente diverso de generación crea mejores relaciones de trabajo y mejora la cohesión social para todos.…”

Esta investigación tuvo como propósito analizar la percepción que tienen los empleados sobre distintas variables (tales como género, generación, religión y nacionalidad) sobre el Clima de aceptación de la diversidad (CAID), y este con respecto a la Percepción sobre orientación sexual (POS). La información se recopiló mediante un cuestionario validado suministrado a 509 trabajadores pertenecientes a diferentes áreas de negocios, y se analizaron los resultados con los modelos Structural Equation Models-Partial Least Square. Este estudio encontró que el CAID tiene una relevancia importante y positiva sobre la POS de los trabajadores, y que la percepción del género del empleado está influenciada fuertemente por la generación del trabajador. Otros modelos que han intentado medir el CAID no han incluido la variable POS, a diferencia de esta investigación, la cual aporta a la disciplina de Recursos Humanos.
