| dc.description.abstract | The paper sought to examine the effect of work scheduling on employee
performance in private hospitals in Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya. A survey
research design approach was adopted. The study population consisted of
all the licensed private hospitals in Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya. However, Out
of the total 2,298 permanent employees of 31 private hospitals, a sample of
341 was selected based on Yamane (1967) procedure. A self-administered
questionnaire was adopted for data collection. Data were then analysed
through descriptive and inferential statistics. The hypotheses were tested
through the entry regression analysis technique. Evidence obtained from the
analysis confirmed a positive effect of a strong statistically significant
positive relationship between work scheduling and employee performance
in selected private hospitals in Uasin-Gishu County, Kenya (p = .001, b =
0.578, t = 22.416, p < .01). This study concludes that hospitals that practice
work scheduling and prioritisation as part of time management practice
enhance employee performance, specifically private Hospitals in Uasin-Gishu
County, Kenya. The ministry of health should develop specific policies that
incorporate time management practices to enhance employees’
performance in hospitals. Based on the findings, the study recommends that
private hospitals consider work schedules to enhance employee and overall
organisation performance. Thus, the study contributes to the inconclusive
debate on time management practices as nexus as a strategic resource for
employee performance. | en_US |
