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. |
