| dc.description.abstract | This study investigates the effects of job design on employee performance in financial institutions, with a specific focus on Post Bank in Mukono District. The research aimed to examine the impact of key job design elements—job rotation, job enlargement, and job enrichment—on employee performance, motivation, and skill development. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing structured questionnaires distributed to a sample of 48 employees. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis to identify patterns and relationships between job design practices and performance outcomes. The findings indicate that job design significantly influences employee performance in financial institutions. Job enrichment was identified as the most effective element, showing a strong positive correlation with employee motivation and productivity. Employees who experienced enriched job roles reported higher levels of job satisfaction and engagement, suggesting that providing more meaningful and challenging tasks can enhance performance. Job enlargement also demonstrated a positive impact, as employees perceived the expansion of their job roles as an opportunity to develop diverse skills, though the extent of this impact varied among respondents.However, job rotation yielded mixed results. While a segment of employees acknowledged an increase in motivation and engagement due to job rotation, a considerable number expressed uncertainty about its effectiveness in fostering a deeper understanding of different roles within the organization. This suggests that while job rotation can be beneficial for skill diversification, its implementation must be carefully managed to ensure it meets the employees' development needs and aligns with organizational goals. The study concludes that well-implemented job design strategies can significantly enhance employee performance by promoting motivation, skill development, and job satisfaction. The research recommends that financial institutions like Post Bank adopt a structured approach to job design, incorporating training programs and mentorship initiatives to support employees in their expanded and enriched roles. This approach is expected to cultivate a more motivated, skilled, and productive workforce, ultimately contributing to the organization's overall performance and success. | |
