Abstract

This study discusses the factors that influence employee job performance during COVID-19 pandemic. The variables used in this study were education level, job redesign, job satisfaction and remuneration. A quantitative research method is used in this study. A survey research design is employed in this thesis. Study population comprises of employees of health sector. The sample consists of 203 employees. Primary data is used in this study. Questionnaire was used for collection of primary data. The results show that Educational level results in higher Employee Job Performance. More specifically, an improvement of one percent in Educational level results in an increase of 59% in Employee Job Performance. The results indicate that Job satisfaction and Employee Job Performance are positively correlated at the 1% level. The magnitude of this impact is high, as an increase of one unit in Job satisfaction, results in an increase of 0.14 in the value of Employee Job Performance. Similarly, we find positive relationship between Remuneration and Employee Job Performance, indicating that an increase of one unit in Remuneration results in an increase of 37% in Employee Job Performance. However, the result for Job redesign and Employee Job Performance is statistically insignificant as shown by p-value of 0.238.
