ABSTRACT

This study examines the administrative factors affecting employee performance at Hoima Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda. Utilizing a correlational study design, both quantitative and qualitative methods were employed to gather comprehensive data. From a population of 394, a sample size of 198 participants was selected using simple random and purposive sampling techniques. Data collection involved questionnaires and interviews, with quantitative data analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics and qualitative data through thematic analysis. Findings revealed a moderate positive significant relationship between the availability of physical facilities and employee performance (R=0.443; P=0.000). These results underscore the importance of well-maintained physical facilities in enhancing employee performance in healthcare settings. Recommendations include regular updates to hospital equipment and continuous professional development for staff.
