THE EFFECT OF EMPLOYEE’S MOTIVATION ON JOB PERFORMANCE: (THE CASE OF CENTRAL PRINTING PRESS P.L.C)

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of employee motivation on job performance at Central Printing Press PLC, Addis Ababa. It examines the relationship between intrinsic factors (autonomy, growth , recognition, rewards, job satisfaction) and extrinsic factors (company policies, work conditions, job security, supervisor relationships, remuneration) on job performance. A quantitative research approach with a cross-sectional design was employed, and data were collected from 171 respondents using simple random sampling. The study utilized SPSS for frequency descriptions, correlation, and regression analysis. The findings reveal satisfaction emerged as the most significant predictor, followed by growth and company Policies. These findings suggest that career development, job satisfaction, and organizational policies are crucial for enhancing employee performance. In contrast, variables such as Autonomy, Recognition, Reward, Work Conditions, Job Security, Relationship with Supervisor, and Remuneration were not statistically significant, indicating their limited impact on employee performance in this study. The study concludes that addressing both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators is essential for enhancing job performance. Recommendations include improving employee autonomy and growth opportunities, establishing a structured recognition and rewards program, and enhancing work conditions and job security. Additionally, training supervisors to foster better relationships and communication is crucial. By implementing these strategies, organizations can boost employee engagement, satisfaction, and overall performance, contributing to long-term organizational success.
