Abstract:
The study examines the effect of job description on employees' performance employees in Biase Plantation, Cross River State Nigeria. The study anchored on role theory. Survey research design was employed. Population of the study is 612 staff. And the sample size was determined using Taro Yamane's formula at 242. The outcome of hypotheses testing reveals that there is a significant and positive relationship between job identification, job responsibility, job qualification and employees' performance. Based on the study's findings, it has been concluded that improper job identification in job descriptions led to employee confusion about responsibilities and overlapping tasks as well as job conflicts. The study recommended that the management should place the staff in their respective functional areas. The implication is that hiring competent human resources specialists, job analysts, and job descriptions will give new hires the opportunity to put their knowledge and skills to use.
