Abstract


This study investigates the impact of gender inclusion on employee satisfaction, using the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Bauchi, as the case study. A structured questionnaire was employed to collect data from staff members through a census sampling technique. The reliability of the instrument was confirmed using Cronbach's Alpha, indicating that the responses were consistent and dependable. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and regression analysis to evaluate the relationship between gender inclusion and employee satisfaction. The results revealed a positive relationship between gender inclusion and employee satisfaction, with the coefficient for gender inclusion being statistically significant. These findings suggest that gender inclusion positively influences employee satisfaction and that addressing challenges related to gender inclusion can enhance organizational performance. The study concludes that promoting diversity and inclusion practices contributes significantly to employee well-being and satisfaction in the workplace.
