Abstract: The general objective of this study was to determine the effects of workforce diversity on performance of deposit taking SACCOs in Mombasa County. The specific objectives were to determine the effect of special needs diversity on the performance of SACCOs, to investigate the effect of gender diversity on the performance of SACCOs and to examine the effect of age diversity on the performance of SACCOs in Mombasa County. The population of the study comprised of 64 employees in the three levels of management in all the SACCOs under study. For this study, 55 respondents were selected from 16 deposit taking SACCOs in Mombasa County. Data was collected using questionnaires. Responses were analyzed descriptively using tables, pie charts and graphs. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to test hypothesis while regression was computed to establish the overall effect of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The study concluded that there exists a positive and significant relationship between special needs diversity, age diversity and organizational performance while the relationship between gender diversity and organizational performance was weak and statistically insignificant.
