Abstract

This study was set to examine the relationship between performance management practices and employee productivity in selected public health facilities in Hoima City. The study was guided by three objectives namely; to examine the relationship between goal setting and employee productivity in selected public health facilities in Hoima City, to assess the relationship between monitoring and employee productivity in selected public health facilities in Hoima City and to establish the relationship between employee feedback and employee productivity in selected public health facilities in Hoima City. A mixed-methods approach involving both qualitative and quantitative techniques was employed. A population size of 140 people was used and a sample of 103 respondents was drawn from selected public health facilities in the Hoima City. There was a moderate positive correlation (r=0.481) between employee feedback and employee productivity in selected public health facilities in Hoima City. This finding implies that when employees are provided with opportunities to provide feedback, suggestions, and input on their work experiences, it can positively impact their productivity levels. There was a positive correlation between monitoring and employee productivity (r=0.564). This indicates a moderate positive linear relationship between monitoring practices and employee productivity in public health facilities. There was a positive relationship between goal setting and employee productivity (r=0.648). Therefore, employees should ensure that their goals align with the objectives of the public health facility, Senior managers of the health facilities should strengthen supervision on resource utilization, conduct formal performance reviews regularly and ensure that feedback is discussed with employees, health facilities should invest in training and development and the management of health facilities should strengthen collaboration and teamwork by promoting collaboration among team members to align individual goals to foster employee productivity. Further research should delve into exploring different strategies to enhance employee engagement in goal setting, monitoring processes, and feedback mechanisms. Investigating how varying levels of employee engagement influence productivity outcomes could provide valuable insights for organizational practices.
