The study aimed to examine the impact of intellectual diversity in administration and promoting workplace equality on organizational affiliation. It employed a descriptive methodology using references and studies, as well as a statistical methodology of analysis by designing a questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to a random sample of 85 employees, with 80 employees responding, resulting in a response rate of 89%. The research found that both intellectual diversity in administration and workplace equitable treatment possesses a significant impact on organizational affiliation. Additionally, it revealed that intellectual diversity in management has a significant influence on workplace equality. Furthermore, workplace quality plays a crucial role in enhancing the relationship between intellectual diversity in management and organizational affiliation. Therefore, the study recommends that the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research maintain this strategic orientation towards intellectual diversity and maintain policies for attracting and appointing human competencies that are intellectually and skillfully diverse, and develop training and development systems in addition to developing reward and incentive systems that encourage intellectual diversity and implementing fair and transparent policies in assigning jobs, promotions and compensation.
