| Abstract: | The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of working environment on employee
performance in Kilinto Industrial Park found in Adiss ababa city. Quantitative research
approach with explanatory research design was adopted in carrying out this research. Cross
sectional data was collected to address research objectives of the study using self-administered
questionnaire from 99 employees using census method. The collected data were analyzed using
descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis through statistical package for social
science (SPSS). The study used seven major working environment factors including: physical
environment, reward, leadership style, work life balance, training, workload and discrimination
as predictor variables and employee performance as dependent variable. The research's findings
show that while workload and discrimination have negative and statistically significant effects
on employee performance, the physical work environment, rewards, and training have positive
and statistically significant effects as well. However, research has found no statistically
significant relationship with a leadership style and work-life balance and employee success.
Based on the study's findings, management of the industrial park is advised to ensure that the
physical work environment, including lighting, noise level, temperature, and ventilation, remains
at an acceptable level. Discrimination at work must also be minimized by encouraging all
employees, regardless of gender, age, ethnic group, or religious belief, to participate in decisionmaking, as this will help to reduce discrimination in the workplace. |
