performance at the Ministry of Urban and Infrastructure. The total population was 202 out of
which 134 employees were surveyed using stratified and simple random probability sampling
techniques. A Researcher used questionnaire to collect data from the respondents. A total of 134
questionnaires were distributed and 122 usable responses were received. Descriptive statistics,
correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze the study by using Statistical Package
for Social Science (SPSS) version 20. For this study, the dependent variable employee
performance and six independent variables such as nature of work, pay and benefits,
supervision, interpersonal relationship among coworkers, career advancement and workplace
environment were identified. The results provide understanding that how these variables are

career advancement and workplace environment. The results of the regression analysis indicate
that there is statistically significant between nature of work, pay and benefit workplace
environment and co-worker relationship (The β coefficient for nature of work (β = 0.332, Pay
and benefit (β = 0.286, Workplace environment β = 0.314 and statistically insignificant for
supervision (β = -0.035) and for promotion (β =-0.096). The magnitude of the coefficient for
nature of work is greater than supervisor, pay and benefit, promotion, work itself and coworkers. Then, the researchers recommend that the office should focus on the most influential
factors that affect employee performance identified by this study and take appropriate measures
