Abstract

The goal of this study was to see how work ethics norms affected the performance of healthcare professionals at Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital (CGTRH). The variables reviewed included: accountability, teamwork, commitment and interpersonal relationships and their influence on performance of health workers at CGTRH. The employee risk triangle and job design theories drove the research. The health workers in CGTRH were the target group. To arrive at a sample size of 219 health workers, the researcher utilized stratified random sampling and simple random procedures. A questionnaire was used to collect raw data that was coded into SPSS version 25. Multiple regressions and bivariate logistical analyses were employed to this study and helped to evaluate the connection that exists between the study variables. The study concluded that accountability, teamwork, employee commitment and interpersonal relationships greatly influenced the employee performance at the CGTRH. The independent variables in the study influenced 61.1% of the employee performance at the CGTRH. The study concluded that the health workers are working together towards delivering quality healthcare in the hospital and that they were steady in undertaking activities connected to their jobs. Teamwork by the health workers boosts productivity, and division of labor which allowed the employees to be placed on roles they are best in, was practiced in in the facility. The health workers have a desire to remain part of the hospital, and the turnover rate in the hospital was low. Interpersonal relationships had a direct effect on the organization culture and that it was important for coaching in the hospital. From the bivariate logistical analysis, the study concluded that accountability had the least significance and influence on the employee performance with a significant value of .048, while employee commitment and interpersonal relationships had the highest, with a significant value of 0.000
