Abstract

Research aim: This study aimed to assess the influence of motivation on employee performance within the Gambia Ports Authority (GPA). Design/Methode/Approach: A descriptive survey design was employed, utilizing structured questionnaires to gather primary data. The study employed simple random sampling to select participants. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software, including reliability testing via Cronbach’s Alpha, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression analysis to test hypotheses. Research Finding: The research highlights the significant impact of various motivational factors on employee performance within GPA. Training, organizational prioritization, and investment in development programs were found to positively influence performance (89.10%). Additionally, positive working conditions (81.70%), employee recognition (79.90%), and delegation of responsibility (74.90%) were identified as crucial contributors to an optimal work environment. The study also underscores the motivating effects of salary, bonuses, and benefits, emphasizing the importance of compensation structures. Moreover, positive relationships with superiors, peer dynamics, and effective management styles were recognized as pivotal in driving employee performance and organizational success. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the understanding of the relationship between motivation and employee performance, specifically within the context of GPA. It emphasizes the importance of various motivational factors and their impact on organizational outcomes. Practitioner/Policy implication: The findings suggest the necessity for GPA to implement a comprehensive strategy addressing motivational factors to cultivate a highly productive workforce. Recommendations include conducting a thorough assessment of the current motivational landscape within the organization to identify challenges and barriers hindering high motivation levels. Research limitation: One limitation of this study is its focus on GPA, which may limit the generalizability of findings to other organizational contexts. Additionally, reliance on self-reported data through questionnaires may introduce response bias.

Analysis of the data was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) analytical and SmartPLS tool. Research Finding: The hypothesis is supported which in turn indicates the path is significant between the independent and dependent variable. H1 (0.547, p < 0.05) describes the path between social media usage and employee performance. Theoretical contribution/Originality: The study revealed the necessity for GPA to adopt social media as a strategic communication tool for efficient dissemination of information within the organization and a means to empower employees. Theoretically, informed employees are more involved and engaged to serve the organisation. Practical/Policy implication:        The study will aid the implementation of a social media policy which will serve as a policy document to guide staff on how and when to use social media during official work hours. Research limitation: The findings of the study cannot be generalized with other SOEs as the study is limited to Gambia Ports Authority only.

Abstract

Research aim: The study aims  to evaluate the effectiveness of the current Occupational Health, Safety and well-being policy of the GPA. Additionally, assessed the effects of OHS on Port Operations and Employee Performance and as well as the health hazards associated with poor Occupational Health and Safety standards. Design/Methode/Approach: A descriptive and exploratory survey design  was utilized with a structured questionnaire and Likert 5- point scale to collect data. The study also utilized stratified random sampling method and drawing a sample of 210 staff from the GPA staff roll provided by Human Resources. The data was analyzed using both descriptive and structural equation modelling (SEM) techniques with help of SPSS software and SmartPLS4. Research Finding: The study found out that the current OHS policy of the GPA was effective since a significant percentage of the respondents are aware and have access to such a policy. It also indicated that implementation of OHS policy was communicated to majority of the employees. The staff also agreed that the availability of effective working conditions enhance employee performance and operational efficiency. The nature of Ports Operations indicated that the most vulnerable groups experienced workplace hazards more frequently. The perception of safety standards at the Ports Authority is generally below average. Theoretical contribution/Originality: The study has contributed to knowledge by bridging the gap in establishing the relationship of OHS on employee and organisational performance. It gave a fresh perspective on Gambia Ports operations as well as the challenges in relations with employee health, safety and well-being. Practitionel/Policy implication: The Expansion of the Port infrastructure should be expedited to provide the much-needed space and avoid the presence of health hazards associated with poor standards. The Management of GPA should organize more awareness campaigns for operational staff in order to educate them about OHS and how they can practice caution on their own. The GPA leadership should facilitate the formulation of better health and safety policies and procedures. It would also assist employees to improve their welfare and ensure a safe working environment for all. Research limitation: The study conclusions cannot be generalized as its from a single entity.
