ABSTRACT
This study investigates the administrative factors impacting employee performance at Hoima Regional Referral Hospital in Uganda. Employing a correlational study design, both quantitative and qualitative methodologies were utilized to comprehensively explore the dynamics at play. From a population of 394, a sample 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. The findings indicated a weak but significant positive relationship between funding mechanisms and employee performance (R=0.332; P=0.004). Based on these findings, the study recommends the evaluation of electronic procurement systems to mitigate delays in emergency situations.
