EFFECT OF ATTRACTING CANDIDATES ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN WORLD VISION INTERNATIONAL JUBA- SOUTH SUDAN. A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY.

Abstract

Background:

The study aimed to establish the effect of attracting candidates on employee performance in World Vision International in South Sudan.

Methodology:

A cross-sectional research design with both qualitative and quantitative approaches was used. Sampling was done involving a sample determination table (Krejcie and Morgan, 2005) and a sample of 53 employees was used. Data collection procedures included questionnaires, interviews, and documentary reviews.

Results:

The study was dominated by male respondents at 42 (66.7%) and the females were 21 (33.3%). Based on the coefficient P = 0.662>0.05 realized by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) at a (9. 23) degree of freedom. The null hypothesis of this study was accepted, which implies that there is no significant relationship between attracting candidates and employee performance in World Vision International. The R square = 0.850 this suggests that 9.5% of the variations in performance are explained by attracting candidates.

Conclusion:  

Major findings using Pearson`s Production Moment Correlation Analysis showed a significant positive relationship between attracting candidates on employee performance. The findings revealed that World Vision International has only one method of attracting employees and this is internal advertising. The findings also showed that attracting candidates negatively affects employee performance.

Recommendations:

Managers and policymakers should make sure that competitive employees are attracted to apply whenever job/jobs are advertised and the leadership style should be balanced and attract employee contributions on the issues that affect their work performance.
