Abstract
The study was aimed at determining the factors of remote management on employee’s productivity at Medécins Sans Frontières. Descriptive research design and purposive sampling technique were used to determine the outcome. The target population was 298 employees with a sample size of 61 employees from Human Resource, Administration, Finance and Accounts, Medical and Logistics and Procurement. In order to obtain the information required for the study, questionnaires were administered to the respondents. Data analysis was done through the use of SPSS version 21 in order to quantify the findings. From the findings it was showed that training and development, communication, effective control and cost effectiveness were the factors that mainly promoted remote management. In order that the operations of the organisation succeed then it was necessary that the organisation strengthens these factors and as a result employee productivity was going to improve substantially. From the findings it showed that there were external challenges that the organisation was facing which included employee trust, government interference, competition for resources and cultural differences. In conclusion, for the organisation to be able to obtain its goal effectively, the organisation needed to eliminate its threats and enhance the factors that influenced its growth. The researcher hence recommended the organisation should enhance its systems and structures and incorporate reward systems to increase productivity from their employees. Further studies on other organisations that carry out remote management can be undertaken to see if they can be incorporated in other organisations.
