    (Addis Ababa University, 2024-10) Linda Menassie; Bahran Asrat (PhD)
    For every firm to succeed, organizational effectiveness and employee job satisfaction are essential components. To increase productivity, lower turnover, and gain a competitive edge, these two elements are essential. Under these circumstances, employee performance is critical to an organization's success. This is particularly true in the private business sector, where efficiency and competitiveness are critical factors. Hence, taking this into consideration, this study aimed to investigate the effects of job satisfaction on employee performance at AGP Poultry Plc. With this regard, the research focuses on six dimensions of job satisfaction: work itself, work conditions, promotion, supervision, payment, and coworkers, and examines their individual and collective impacts on employee performance. To assess this relationship, the study used a causal (explanatory) type of research, while employing both primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected through close (Likert-scale) and open-ended structured questionnaires, while also using secondary data of the organization to measure employee’s performance. When it comes to the sample size, out of a population size of 143 employees, 105 Samples were selected by using simple random sampling method. The study applied Descriptive and Inferential statistical technique approach of quantitative method through averages (mean), frequencies, percentages, Correlation coefficient, and multiple regressions to analyze and present the data collected. When it comes to the response rate of the study, 83 respondents returned the questionnaires distributed to them. Moreover, the results of the study revealed that five dimensions—work itself, work conditions, promotion, supervision, and payment—had statistically significant positive effects on employee performance. In contrast, coworker relationships, while positively related to performance, did not show a statistically significant impact. The findings suggest that both intrinsic and extrinsic job factors play crucial roles in enhancing employee performance, with work conditions and supervision emerging as particularly influential. The study contributes to the broader literature on job satisfaction and provides practical recommendations for management to focus on improving job design, work environments, and supervision practices to boost employee performance. Directions for future research are also discussed, including the exploration of mediating and moderating variables in the relationship between job satisfaction and performance. Key words: Job satisfaction, Job performance, AGP Poultry PLC, and demographic factors.
