Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to look at the connection between employee performance and motivation. Examining employee motivation practices at Pride Micro Finance Kabale Branch, looking at factors affecting employee performance there, and establishing the link between motivation and performance were the three goals of the study. Both a case study and an explanatory research approach were used in the study. The study used stratified random sampling in sample selection, grouping the employees according to management levels, to meet the goals established. 52 respondents were chosen for the sample, including both Pride Micro Finance Kabale Branch clients and workers. The study found that Pride Micro Finance Kabale Branch motivates its employees in a variety of ways, including by offering fringe benefits, rewarding good employees with incentives, instilling a feeling of responsibility, elevating consistently strong individuals, and treating all employees fairly. However, the study also showed that the council did not use instruments for motivation such compensation, training, employee involvement in decision-making, and personnel rotation. The survey also showed that the primary element influencing employee performance is motivation. As revealed by the Pearson correlation of (r= 0.823**), significance level =0.01, the study demonstrated a strong and direct association between employee motivation and the performance of Pride Micro Finance Kabale Branch personnel. In conclusion, the researcher discovered that employee productivity is positively impacted by motivation, and that if the management of the Pride Micro Finance Kabale Branch strengthened its incentive methods, employees would perform better, helping the firm reach its goals. Since the council's biggest challenge had been using specific motivational tools that would make some employees unhappy, the researcher advises that the council always carry out thorough research on the various motivational practices that can motivate the specific employees so that they can apply the right tools appealing to the employees.
