The Impact of Career Management on Job Performance: A Case Study of Grain Marketing Board
Journal Title: International Journal of Management Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
This study examined the Impact of Career Management on Job Performance at Grain Marketing Board (GMB). The research was motivated by the fact that there there has been gross underutilisation of both skills and capabilities of employees at GMB. There are unstructured career policies and practices at GMB and as a result, employees perceive their careers as their personal responsibilities. The main objective of the study was to examine the impact of Career Management on Job Performance at GMB. The findings of the study revealed i) that most of the employees were both not aware of the current career policies and practices at GMB and agreed that management did not involve all employees in career management programmes ii) career management positively influenced productivity and job performance iii) most of the non managerial employees were not committed to GMB as revealed by high labour turnover. The study recommends that i) Career advice and career management awareness programmes be offered to all employees as ways of improving career policies and practices ii) Effective and efficient career policies and practices be put in place so as to boost employee commitment; reduce absenteeism, frustrations and incompetence, iii) GMB must restructure its training and development manual and include career management in its company strategy so that all employees benefit iv) Employees must also be made aware of the fact that the ultimate responsibility for career management rests with them although the employer is providing such a framework.
