This paper investigates the association between gender discrimination in four workplace areas; recruitment policies, job performing, managerial roles and wage with employee performance and firm performance in the workplace. It was hypothesized that each independent variable is positively correlated with firm performance and employee performance as independent variables in this model. Using a sample size of one hundred ninety-two (192) participants six scales were statistically measured, which include Gender Discrimination in Recruitment Polices, Gender Discrimination in Job performance, Gender discrimination in Managerial Roles, Gender discrimination in wages, employee performance and firm performance. Structural equation modeling is used to evaluate the hypotheses. Results indicate that employee performance is significantly correlated with Gender Discrimination in Recruitment Polices, job performance, and managerial roles. Also, firm performance is significantly correlated with Gender discrimination in recruitment policies and job performance.
