In order to maximize accuracy and minimize error in estimating from thetarget population, participants for the study's questionnaire were chosen using a straightforwardrandom selection procedure to gather the data for this study, the simple random samplingtechnique was used to select participants for the questionnaire of the study. Out of the 261questionnaires provided, 242 were correctly completed by the participants. The study employedboth primary and secondary sources. To collect quantitative data analysis for this study,descriptive statistics like frequencies, percentages, means, inferential analysis and standarddeviations were used in conjunction with SPSS data. Both descriptive and explanatory study designs had been applied. The finding verified that trust has the strongest correlation withcommunication (0.638). This indicates that higher levels of trust are strongly associated with better communication between the bank and its customers. Enhancing trust can thereforeimprove communication, leading to more effective customer interactions. The finding of the study verified that bonding and trust do not significantly predict customer retention. From the findings,it was concluded that this regression analysis not only identifies key drivers of customer retention but also provides a statistically sound basis for prioritizing customer reward, servicequality, and responsiveness in retention strategies. The insights gained can guide managerial decisions and resource allocation to enhance customer loyalty and retention effectively. Finally,it was recommended that Hibret Bank should develop targeted retention programs: design and implement retention programs targeting specific customer segments based on their satisfaction,commitment, and responsiveness levels. Personalized retention efforts can be more effective in addressing the unique needs and preferences of different customer groups.

    (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2025-06) Blen Getachew; Mitiku Hambisa (PhD)
    This study investigates the relationship between work environment, employee motivation, and job performance among frontline employees in selected banks in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The research addresses a growing need to understand how psychosocial work conditions and motivations affect employee performance in their job in the banking sector. A convergent parallel mixed-methods design was employed, beginning with a quantitative phase involving 360 employees who completed validated scales measuring Work Environment, Motivation, and Job Performance. This was Complemented by qualitative interviews with 15 participants to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship among the study variables. Quantitative results showed significant positive correlations among all three variables, with multiple regression indicating that both work environment and motivation independently and jointly predicted job performance. Thematic analysis of interviews revealed that supportive leadership, recognition, and collegial relationships significantly influence employee motivation and performance. Additionally, demographic variables such as sex, age, and work experience were found to moderate these relationships jointly. These findings highlight the importance of contextual and relational factors in shaping employee outcomes in Ethiopia’s banking sector.
