THE EFFECTS OF MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE

Abstract

This study assesses the effects of motivational factors on employee performance in telecommunication sector in Nangarhar, Afghanistan. The stratified random sampling technique is used to collect the data from corresponding respondents. The sample size of the study is 120 employees working with the telecommunication sector in Nangarhar, Afghanistan. The simple linear regression technique is used to analyse the result of the study. The correlation coefficient between employee performance and motivational factors is positive. This indicates that as motivational factors increase, this would cause to rise the employee performance. The magnitude of the correlation is 73 percent which shows the degree of relation. This implies that the association between employee performance and motivational factors is 73 percent. The estimated coefficient of motivational factors is positive, which implies that one unit rise in motivational factors would increase the employee performance. The magnitude of the coefficient is 0.354, this implies that one unit rise in motivational factors would cause to rise the employee performance by 35.4 percent on average basis by keeping all other variable constant. The R-square shows the explanatory power of the independent variables of the study. The R-square of the study is 68 percent that shows that independent variables bring 68 percent variation in the dependent variable of the study. The F-statistics show the fitness of the model or overall significance of the model. The overall model is significant because the p-value of the model is below 5 percent.
