Relationship between existing work benefit packages and performance of academic staff in selected private secondary schools in Kamwenge District. A cross-sectional study.
Résumé
Background: Acquisition of skills may enhance employee job satisfaction because it is easy to shift to other jobs that have high satisfaction. The aim of the study is to assess the relationship between existing work benefit packages and the performance of academic staff in selected private secondary schools in Kamwenge district. Methodology: A cross-sectional case study design using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study population was academic and administrative staff from six private secondary schools in Kamwenge District. A population comprising 140 respondents. Results: A strong positive correlation (rho = .727) between benefit packages and employee performance. The coefficient of determination (rho2 = .522) shows that benefit packages accounted for 52.2% variance in employee performance. The significance (p) was 0.000, below the 0.05 level of significance. A moderate linear relationship (Multiple R = .677) between the combination of dimensions of benefit packages (tuition fees assistance, gratuity, and health insurance) and employee performance. ANOVA tests revealed that the significance (Sig F=.000) of the Fisher's ratio (F= 21.191) was below the significance level of 0.05, and therefore the results were accepted. Only tuition fees assistance (p-value = .000) had a significant effect on employee performance; gratuity (p-value = .305) and health insurance (p-value = .008) did not have a significant effect on employee performance. Conclusions: Work benefit packages motivate staff members to improve performance with the provision of tuition fee assistance, gratuity, and health insurance, which will lead to improved employee performance in Kamwenge private secondary schools. Recommendations: The school should provide health insurance benefits to all academic staff members. This will help cater to the health needs of staff members and their immediate family members, thus motivating staff members to work harder for improved performance.
