This study seeks to examine the gender biases in the development sector for human development prospects in Balochistan, Pakistan. For accomplishment of research objective, quantitative technique was applied by using random sampling technique. Data was collected from a total number of one hundred respondents from Lasbela, Quetta, and Pishin districts of Balochistan. The respondents consisted 33, 34, and 33 from Lasbela, Quetta, and Pishin districts respectively. Likert scaling deemed fit in this research. ANOVA (Tukey HSDa) test was applied by using the SPSS. The outcomes indicated that the majority (76%) of respondents placed at the age category of 20-40 years. Half (50%) of respondents were uneducated. Majority (76%) of the respondents belonged to the joint family system. More than half (55%) of the respondents were male. Economic biases (MS = 2.2500a “Lasbela”, MS = 3.2059b “Quetta” MS = 3.2941b “Pishin” p ≤0.05) and cultural biases (MS = 3.0000a “Lasbela”, MS = 4.2353b “Quetta” MS = 4.5294b “Pishin” p ≤0.05) were highly significant. While, on the other hand, education biases, social biases and legal biases remained only significant based on p ≤0.05 respectively. Hence, in order to obviate the gender biases in the development sector, it is recommended that the government of Balochistan should formulate solid instruments policies for female empowerment in the development sector as equal to male. Furthermore, the government should create income generation opportunities or chances in the development sector for female like agriculture, livestock, energy, and forestry and fisheries sectors at a considerable rate so as to reduce the male dependency.

“…Sanderson (2010) improved the theory by focusing more on the way circumstances that surround individuals and how their behaviors, feelings and thoughts are affected specifically by their surroundings, socio-cultural elements, within the organization. Workplaces that embrace diversity influence positive behaviors (Ullah, 2020). Further, Sanderson (2010) explains that sociocultural perspective describes peoples' behaviors and mental process as shaped several factors including gender.…”

Employees' performance is considered to be the lifeline of any organization considering the competitive environment that exists in the today's business world. One of the factors that can be used to promote employees' performance is gender diversity. In this regard, many researchers have been attracted to study such relationship. But most prior empirical studies focused on employee's performance as a single dimensional variable instead of being multidimensional variable. Employees' performance can be categorized as adaptive, contextual and task performance. In this regard, the article aimed at examining the influence of gender diversity on employees' performance dimensions. The sample size was 618 whereby 203 respondents were from Dar es Salaam; 173 from Mwanza; 117 from Shinyanga and 125 from Simiyu who were chosen by using multistage sampling technique. In total, 554 respondents filled in and returned the questionnaire which makes the response rate of 89.6%. Mean scores and Structural Equation Model (SEM) were used as data analysis techniques. The findings revealed that gender diversity had a statistically significant and positive influence on all employees' performance dimensions i.e. adaptive, contextual and task performance. Hence, the article recommends that organizations must ensure the appropriate mix of men and women at workplace through engendered recruitment, retention and career development. However, promotion and appointment of the higher positions such as managerial positions should base on the merits of an individuals and not on their gender.
