Harnessing Institutional Agility for a More Effective and Efficient Government Organization

Abstract

Every business relies on its employees, and their attitude toward their job and the results they achieve directly impact the organization's stability and performance. To ensure that the organizational effectiveness process runs smoothly, motivating employees to participate actively is crucial. Without their cooperation and assistance, considerable energy may be wasted. In a competitive global environment, employee productivity is linked to several issues that can hinder an organization's success. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the factors that influence employees' productivity, determine if there is a connection between productivity elements and employee work, and evaluate how incentives affect employees at work and their productivity. The study involved selecting a sample of 116 individuals from different Saudi government agencies, including administrative personnel and managers. The data was gathered using survey questions and analyzed using several statistical techniques. The study results indicate that out of the five tested factors, four of them significantly influence productivity. These factors are health issues, stress, workplace environment, and personality traits. On the other hand, sleep deprivation was found to have no impact on productivity. Accordingly, employees in government organizations acknowledge that addressing health issues, reducing stress levels, improving the work environment, and developing positive personality traits are all critical aspects of enhancing the organization's productivity and achieving its objectives.
