- Abstract
This study explores the relationship between tribal diversity, human resources management practices, and firm performance in Africa. Using multiple data sources and multilevel techniques, I examine tribal diversity as a driver of human resource management-diversity policy (HRM-DP) and an interactive factor influencing firm performance. Tribal identity is also tested as a determinant of tribal diversity. The results show that HRM-DP mediates the relationship between tribal diversity and firm performance. Tribal identity also relates negatively to tribal diversity, HRM-DP, and firm performance. Lastly, tribal diversity interacts with tribal identity in relating to firm performance. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed to enhance tribal diversity management in Africa. Copyright © 2016 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
