1. Introduction and Research Objectives
Research Objectives
• • To identify key factors influencing employee performance ratings
• • To quantify the relationship between predictors and performance
• • To develop a predictive model for performance evaluation
• • To provide evidence-based recommendations for performance improvement
2. Literature Review and Theoretical Framework
Theoretical Framework
• • Performance Management Theory (Armstrong & Baron, 2005)
• • Human Capital Theory (Becker, 1964)
• • Goal-Setting Theory (Locke & Latham, 1990)
• • Expectancy Theory (Vroom, 1964)
• • Previous empirical studies have identified training, skills, attendance, and
feedback as key performance predictors
3. Methodology and Data Collection
Research Methodology
• • Research Design: Quantitative, cross-sectional study
• • Data Collection: Survey questionnaire administered to employees
• • Sample: Employees from various departments and job levels
• • Variables Measured:
• - Dependent Variable: Performance Rating (1-10 scale)
• - Independent Variables: Training programs, absenteeism, salary, technical skills,
project completion rate, feedback frequency
4. Exploratory Data Analysis
Correlation Analysis

Bivariate Relationships

5. Multiple Regression Analysis
Multiple Regression Model
• • Model Specification: Performance = β₀ + β₁(Training) + β₂(Absenteeism) +
β₃(Salary) + β₄(Skills) + β₅(Project Completion) + β₆(Feedback) + ε
• • Estimation Method: Ordinary Least Squares (OLS)
• • Diagnostic Tests: Multicollinearity (VIF), Heteroscedasticity, Normality of
residuals
• • Software Used: Python with statsmodels, pandas, and matplotlib libraries
Multicollinearity Diagnostics

6. Results and Interpretation
Statistical Significance of Predictors

Model Explanatory Power
Figure 5: R-squared decomposition showing contribution of each variable to explained variance
Key Findings
• • The overall model explains 36.3% of variance in performance ratings (R² = 0.363)
• • Project Completion Rate is the only statistically significant predictor (p < 0.05)
• • A 1% increase in Project Completion Rate is associated with a 0.08 increase in
performance rating
• • Other predictors did not reach statistical significance at the 0.05 level
• • No significant multicollinearity issues detected (all VIF values < 5)
7. Discussion and Implications
Discussion and Implications
al Implications:
support Goal-Setting Theory
completion as a key performance indicator
ges traditional views on training and salary as primary motivators
s a task-oriented approach to performance
Practical Implications:
• Focus on project management skills
• Implement project tracking systems
• Set clear project milestones and deadlines
• Recognize and reward project completion
• Reconsider traditional performance metrics
8. Limitations and Future Research
Limitations and Future Research
• Limitations:
• • Cross-sectional design limits causal inferences
• • Self-reported data may introduce bias
• • Sample size and representativeness
• • Unmeasured variables may influence performance
• Future Research Directions:
• • Longitudinal studies to establish causality
• • Include additional predictors (e.g., leadership style, organizational culture)
• • Explore interaction effects between predictors
• • Industry-specific and cross-cultural comparisons
9. Conclusion
Conclusion
• • Project completion rate emerges as the most significant predictor of
performance ratings
• • The findings challenge conventional wisdom about performance drivers
• • Organizations should prioritize project management capabilities and completion
metrics
• • Performance management systems should be redesigned to emphasize task
completion
• • Further research is needed to validate these findings across different contexts
• This study contributes to both theory and practice by identifying key drivers of
employee performance in the modern workplace.
