Abstract

This study sought to establish the relationship between job orientation and employee performance. The researcher adopted a cross-sectional design using a sample of 131 respondents. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyses. It was established that orientation positively and significantly predicted employee performance. It was hence concluded employee orientation through, new staff receiving briefing about working condition, being guided through the policies, being helped to understand job procedures and job rewards significantly influenced job performance. It was thus recommended that employee orientation through government agencies including local governments other organisations should put emphasis on briefing new staff about working conditions, policies, job procedures and job rewards.
