This study aims to examine and analyze the effect of competence and knowledge management on performance (a case study of BAPETEN employees). Respondents in this study were BAPETEN employees, totaling 490 respondents. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) Amos with Amos software version 24. The results of this study found that competence and knowledge management affect positively and significantly on performance. And also gender as a moderating variable does not have a significant effect on employee performance or competence, due to the absence of a distinction between male and female genders. So it is expected that further researchers can expand the variables in improving performance in the company.

“…Mwatumwa (2016) confirmed that gender diversity significantly influences employee performance, which translates into greater organizational performance. Numerous studies have further supported a positive association between gender diversity and employee performance (Elsaid, 2012;Krishnan, 2020;Odhiambo, Gachoka, & Rambo, 2018;Rizwan, Khan, Nadeem, & Abbas, 2016;Khan, Sohail, Sufyan, Uddin, & Basit, 2019). In a similar vein, Badal and Harter (2013) assert that workforce diversity can have a major impact on employee engagement.…”

Businesses operate in an uncertain environment and their survival depends on employee performance. However, the underperformance of employees in some organizations can be due to several important factors, including social engagement and gender diversity. This study investigated the influence of social engagement on employee performance, considering the mediation effect of gender diversity.  Questionnaires were distributed to a sample size of 618 employees, and the response rate was 89.6%, that is, 554 employees from textile firms in four Tanzanian regions (Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Shinyanga, Simiyu). Participants were sampled using a multistage sampling technique. Descriptive and structural equation model were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that social engagement had a significant positive influence on employees’ adaptive, contextual and task performance, while gender diversity partially mediated the influence of social engagement on contextual and task performance. Among others, the article recommends that managers should encourage employees to show concern and care for one another’s opinions and wellbeing and respect for individual values. The promotion of gender diversity among engaged employees can also potentially boost performance.

Research on the relationship between knowledge sharing and employee performance is still inconsistent. Hence, this study offers novelty by involving a variable of individual diversity interaction to investigate the effect of knowledge sharing on employee performance as observed by the ability of employees in achieving individual targets in collecting and distributing ZIS (zakat, infak, and alms). This study included 195 respondents that were analyzed with Structural Equation Modelling using AMOS. The results indicated that knowledge sharing has a positive and significant effect on individual diversity interaction. Individual diversity interactions have a positive and significant effect on religiosity and affective commitment. Moreover, religiosity and individual diversity interaction have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. However, affective commitment indicates no effect on employee performance. This study suggests that to improve performance, employees at zakat institutions need to further intensify their knowledge sharing. This study can be utilized as a resource for more research and to upgrade employees' ZIS collection and distribution capacity.
