Abstract:
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of job design on employees’
performance in the school of Kalmunai Zone in Sri Lanka and which factors of job design
highly influence on employees’ performance in the organizations. To analyze this
condition, one hypothesis was formulated using deductive approach. The study was
conducted by using a random sample of five school in Kalmunai Zone. Type of
investigation was correlational and it was cross-sectional on time horizon. The unit of
analysis was organizational level; each school. Teachers served as respondents on behalf
of the firm. Measures of the study were of good quality after assuring reliability and
validity. Data were collected from 103 respondents which was 100% response rate. In
order to test the hypothesis that was concerned with relationship between perceived level
of job design and perceived degree of employees’ performance the Pearson Product-
Movement Correlation technique was applied. The results of the study showed a
significant and positive relationship between perceived level of job design and perceived
degree of employees’ performance in the schools. Found relationship was significant
(correlation coefficient was .363 that was significant at 0.01 level) implying that a school should adopt an effective task identity, autonomy and feedback in order to improve
teachers’ performance.
