Accordingly, this paper identifies the conceptual framework adapted to investigate the effect of workforce diversity on employee performance in Al-Madinah International University (MEDIU) in Malaysia. Hypotheses and conceptual structure have been built depending on the empirical studies and the results show a statistically significant effect of the three variables toward employee performance.
