(iv) What might be the relationship between absenteeism and organization performance? In order to answer these questions several methods of data collection were used like questionnaires, focus group discussion and interview. The study revealed that there are influences of job security on employees’ commitment. The most identified influences were career stability by 31%, this was due to the fact that when the employees are assured of their position they will be able to work effectively and meet the organization requirements. Other influences identified were improvement of performance, family commitment and financial security. More so, about 96.5% (n=100) of respondents declared that job satisfaction is a critical factor to the overall productivity of the organization. Respondents pointed out that there is a positive correlation between employee’s job satisfaction and overall productivity of the organization. Therefore the study recommends that in order to attain efficiency and effective organisation performance employers should focus on reducing job dissatisfaction (working conditions, salary, supervision, relationship with colleagues), while on the other hand should use motivating factors such as achievement, recognition, responsibility and the work itself.
