EFFECT OF WORK ENVIRONMENT ON EMPLOYEE’S PERFORMANCE
Chapter one
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Over the years, ideas have emerged in an attempt to solve the enigma of why people choose to exhibit specific behaviours in a given situation, with the belief that all behaviour, whether displayed in the workplace or otherwise, is goal driven.
The work environment in general includes physical components such as buildings, furniture, levels of comfort, and office layout settings in which employees work.
The social components of the work environment refer to a strong interaction among employees, a generally free-flowing atmosphere, employee participation in managerial decisions, and so on.
This gets us to the concept of environment. Kochan (2001) views the environment in three contexts: economic, social, and technological. It can be defined as the environment in which all situations, people, events, and so on influence one’s life.
Gnaft (2004) commented on the effect of the work environment in his write-up, stating that “environmental factors contribute to employee productivity, quality output, level of waste, and rate of turnover.”
Many organisations believe that the degree of employee performance on the job is related to the size of the employee’s surveys, which has been demonstrated to be inaccurate in most cases.
Indeed, in many cases, wage hikes and performance bonuses have no immediate impact. The extra money quickly becomes considered as a “entitlement” rather than an incentive.
There are additional characteristics that, when combined, form a more powerful predictor of employee performance. When these other criteria are missing or diluted, employees come to work solely for a page check.
In this situation, the individual is physically present at work while their mentality remains beyond the fence.
The quality of an employee’s work environment has the greatest impact on their level of motivation and subsequent performance. How individuals interact with their organisations, particularly their immediate environment, has a significant impact on their error rate, amount of innovation and collaboration with other employees
absenteeism, and, ultimately, how long they stay on the job. Many studies have found that the majority of employees leave their organisation due to their relationship with their immediate management.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
This study investigates “the impact of work environment on employee performance.” Happiness at work is determined by a variety of factors, many of which varies from one employee to the next:
a nice boss, stimulating projects, recognition and reward, job security, and/or a pleasant ambiance, to mention a few, can help someone come into work feeling inspired.
However, when employees’ expectations of a workplace environment are significantly altered, their performance suffers. As a result, they lack motivation to give their all.
On that note, this research is being designed to address major issues confronting employees in their work environment. The study will also be interested in proposing some solutions on how to create a work environment that can bring out the best performance from employees in order to boost the organization’s growth.
1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The study’s general (wide) objectives are to investigate the effect of the work environment on employee performance. However, in order to accomplish the overall aims, the study will look at the specific objectives listed below.
To find out if strong personnel management techniques can help organisations achieve better results.
To investigate if a positive work environment improves employee performance.
To assess the importance of an employee’s favourable working conditions in the workplace.
