    (2024-10-17) Bwire, James
    The study explored how performance management, employee engagement, and career success are interconnected. It focused on four main objectives: examining the link between performance management and career success in certain Ugandan banks; analyzing how performance management relates to employee engagement in these banks; investigating the connection between employee engagement and career success in the same banks; and determining the role of employee engagement as a mediator in the relationship between performance management and career success in these banks. A cross-sectional survey design with a quantitative approach was utilized, employing questionnaires to collect data. The study's population consisted of 1,100 employees, with a sample size of 285 calculated using Krejcie and Morgan's formula. Respondents were selected through simple random sampling, and data was analyzed using correlations, regression, and mediation analysis with SPSS and MedGraph software. The correlation results revealed a significant and positive association between performance management and career success in selected commercial banks in Uganda (r=.710, p<0.01). The results also revealed a significant and positive association between performance management and employee engagement in selected banks in Uganda (r=.730, p<0.01). The results also revealed a positive significant relationship between employee engagement and career success in selected commercial banks in Uganda (r=.740, p<0.01). The regression results revealed that 60.7% of total variation in career success in selected commercial banks in Uganda was explained by performance management and employee engagement (Adjusted R Square=.607). The remaining 39.3% was explained by other factors which were excluded in this study. Results further indicated that performance management (β= .363, t=6.610, Sig= .000, p<.05) and employee engagement (β=.476, t=8.664, Sig= .000, p<.05) were significant predictors of career success of employees in selected banks in Uganda. Mediation results revealed that employee engagement has a partial mediation effect in the relationship between performance management and career success in selected commercial banks in Uganda (Sobel z-value= 7.812704, P= 0.000001). The study recommends that commercial banks operating within Uganda’s banking sector and new entrants should implement initiatives like cross cultural communication, positive interactions, constructive feedback, inclusiveness, supportive management, career planning, mentoring and individual development plans among that will meet employee expectations in terms of managing performance and employee engagement.
