Job factors related to employees‟ persistence in work-related activities in Kigali Institute of Education
Abstract
Rwanda has established a “Vision 2020” framework for its development goals, and considers its population as its fundamental resource for achieving it. However, the country is still suffering from a serious lack of competent personnel. One behavior of incompetent personnel is lack of persistence in work-related activities which might be related to job factors. The purpose of the present study was to explore this relationship in Kigali Institute of Education (KIE). A correlation research design was used and the null hypothesis was tested on a sample of 151 respondents from a population of 318 employees in KIE. One of the major findings was that there is a significant relationship between employees‟ persistence and job factors (supervisory support and coaching, task design and organizational culture). KIE leaders should use this opportunity to increase their efforts with regard to employees‟ persistence while at the same time increasing the related stated job factors.
Key words: Persistence, supervisory support and coaching, task design and organizational culture
