Performance management practices, employee attitudes and managed performance
Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to establish the relationship between performance
management practices, employee attitudes and managed performance.
Design/methodology/approach – Using a disproportionate stratified purposive approach,
a sample of 900 employees was drawn from four public universities in Uganda.
Findings – The paper reveals that performance management practices and employee attitudes are
crucial for achievement of managed performance in public universities.
Research limitations/implications – This was a cross-sectional study that inherently has
common method biases. Such biases could be minimised with replication of the study using a
longitudinal study approach that would also unearth all salient issues that could have remained
untouched.
Practical implications – The paper emphasises the need for public universities to institutionalise
result-oriented relationships and adapt in the external hyper changing environment.
Originality/value – The paper calls for a new approach to managing employees in public
universities with increasing demand for university education and stakeholder interests in delivery of
cost-effective quality services.
