Abstract:
Existing literature reveals a gap in the empirical knowledge in respect of organizational
factors that impact perceived job performance (PJP) at the large scale garment industries.
The present study empirically evaluated four organizational factors that could have impact
on the perceived job performance namely Leadership Style, Organization Structure,
Organization Culture and Performance Evaluation. The study involved 236 shop floor
employees who were selected randomly from 12 large scale garment factories in each
province except North and North East provinces in Sri Lanka. Methods such as univariate,
bivariate, regression and hypothesis testing were used for data analysis. The results
indicated that all the independent variables were positively and significantly correlated to
the perceived job performance. However, results regressing the independent variables on
the perceived job performance showed that Leadership style, Organization Structure and
Performance Evaluation are strong predictors of perceived job performance while
organization culture variable is excluded from the model. On the whole, the independent
variables accounted for almost 36% of the variance in the perceived job performance.
