Abstract

Globally, the management of an organization has always found it difficult to manage employee performance; therefore, the main goal of every business organization is to develop operational strategies to inspire each employee to succeed and provide quality work performance, as well as raise the organizational competency level. This research investigates the mediating role of office furniture on the relationship between on-the-job training and intrinsic motivation on employee performance. The populations of this research are the members of the non-academic staff of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi, Nigeria. Two hundred and seventy-nine structured questionnaires were administered to the selected staff sample to measure the respondents' opinions. Responses received were analyzed using SMART-PLS 4 to examine the measurement and structural models. The findings reveal that office furniture significantly mediates the relationship between on-the-job training and employee performance (? = 0.158, t-value = 3.124 and p<0.002). The findings further reveal that office furniture significantly mediates the relationship between intrinsic motivation and employee performance with (? = 0.306, t-value =4.875 and p<0.000). The findings of this study can provide insights for organizational leaders in understanding the significance of office furniture in enhancing employee performance; by recognizing the mediating role of office furniture, managers can strategize on creating conducive work environment that optimizes employee performance.
