Factors Affecting Employee’s Performance: A Case of Kabul Based Government Employees

Abstract

Several studies are available on the impact of factors affecting employee performance; however, the
performance of employees in the government sector of Afghanistan has largely been ignored. This paper studies literature on employees’ performance and develops a framework that illustrates the impact of employees’ participation, relations and job involvement on their performance. Based on Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory of Motivation, Hygiene job factors are essential for the existence of motivation at workplace. Hygiene factors are necessary to maintain a reasonable level of satisfaction in employees, which are extrinsic and are related to the job context (Grant, 2003). To test the model, this study uses 150 observations from different ministries based in Kabul. The study found a positive and significant impact of employee participation, job involvement and employee relations on the dependent variable (Employee Performance). This paper will help the government sector managers, policy and decision makers to understand the most important and significant variables that can affect the performance of employees. The study has used linear regression model to illustrate the impact of independent variables, and has found out that employee relations, job involvement and employee participation has a strong positive impact on the performance of the employees in the government sector.
