Abstract

The study sought to assess the impact of work environment on employee job satisfaction in public institutions: A case of Bombo Regional Hospital. Positivistic philosophy and quantitative research approach were used to produce quantifiable and reliable data generalized to some large population. In addition, it was thought that a case study design would be advantageous given this study's circumstances of constrained time and resources. A sample size of 222 respondents out of 500 employees working at Bombo Regional Hospital was considered to be reasonable and affordable using simple random sampling. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze quantitative data concerning the impact of work environment towards employees’ job satisfaction at Bombo Regional Hospital. Multiple regression analysis was also carried out to determine the general relationship between the independent (supervision, reward and responsibility) and dependent variables (employees’ job satisfaction). Based on the study findings, all variables included in the model (supervision, reward and responsibility) predicted 51% of variations on employees’ job satisfaction (Nagelkerke R2 = 0.51). Therefore, all variables included in the model had significant effects or relationship on employees’ job satisfaction at the work place. Based on the study findings, the researcher recommends that the issue concerning to the impact of work environment on employee’s job satisfaction should be addressed by public institutions like the hospitals since it motivates employees to treat their work seriously and with joy and keeps them committed to their duties. Keywords: work environment, job satisfaction, supervision, reward and responsibility
