Impact of Task Performance on Employee Satisfaction: Evidence from Federal Medical Centre, Ogun State, Nigeria

Mobolade Gideon Olakunle PhD

Abstract

This study examines how task performance influences job satisfaction among health workers at the Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. Using a descriptive survey design, structured questionnaires were distributed to 150 employees, yielding 145 valid responses (96.7% response rate). Data were collected on demographics, task performance, and job satisfaction via a 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics summarized respondent profiles, while regression analysis tested the hypothesized effect of task performance on job satisfaction. The model yielded an R of 0.236 and an R2 of 0.060, indicating that task performance explains 6% of the variance in job satisfaction. The ANOVA result (F = 0.162, p = 0.028) and the regression coefficient (B = 0.035, p = 0.028) confirmed a statistically significant positive relationship, although the effect size was modest. These findings support rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) that task performance does not affect job satisfaction. The results underscore that effective task execution contributes to how employees perceive their jobs, even within a complex healthcare environment influenced by workloads, resource constraints, and organizational dynamics. Recommendations include implementing structured performance feedback and broader engagement initiatives to enhance both performance and satisfaction.
