Abstract
Amid rapid technological advancements, demographic changes, and complex regulatory landscapes, healthcare
organizations face significant challenges. Therefore, this study examined the effect of cognitive diversity on
organizational performance within the dynamic healthcare sector, focusing on University College Hospital,
Ibadan. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive design, this research surveyed 300 staff members of University
College Hospital, Ibadan. Following the Krejcie and Morgan sample size determination method, a sample size of
298 participants was derived to ensure representativeness through stratified random sampling of the hospital's
diverse workforce. Data were collected via a structured questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale.Regression
analysis indicated a positive correlation between cognitive diversity and enhanced organizational outcomes.
Coefficients from the regression analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship (p = 0.001) between
cognitive diversity and organizational performance. The findings strongly affirm that cognitive diversity is crucial
for enhancing organizational performance in healthcare settings. The study recommends implementing diversity
training programs and fostering an environment of open communication and collaboration at University College
Hospital, Ibadan. These initiatives are essential for optimizing organizational outcomes amidst the complexities
of cognitive diversity, promoting innovation and effective problem-solving in healthcare delivery
