| dc.description.abstract | The study examined the influence of employee retention on organizational performance in private
businesses in Uganda. A case of Ntake bakery. It was guided by three research objectives which
were; to examine the effect of Leadership style on Organizational Performance; to examine the
effect of Communication on Organizational Performance and to assess the effect of Remuneration
on Organizational Performance. The study used a cross sectional survey design with both
qualitative and quantitative results. The study population involved employees, managers, assistant
managers and drivers. Data was collected using questionnaires and interviews. In data analysis,
Means and Standard Deviations, correlations and regressions were used to show the magnitude
of the effect the independent variables have on the dependent variable. The study findings
revealed that leadership had a positive significant relationship on organizational performance with
(r=.962**, p=.000). Findings also revealed that communication significantly affects
organizational performance (r=.934**, p=.000). Also it was found out that there is a positive
significant relationship between remuneration and organizational performance (r=.973**,
p=.000). It was therefore concluded that: generally private businesses in Uganda have endeavored
to put in place ways of how to retain employees at different levels in their businesses. However
this is not sufficient enough to enable them to fully deploy their participation at work. Most
employees do not feel their self-worthiness as a result of working in private businesses. It was
therefore recommended that organizations should prioritize leadership development programs to
cultivate effective leadership skills among managers and supervisors. Training in authentic and
transformational leadership styles can help create a positive work culture and drive organizational
success. | en_US |
