dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The success of any organization hinges on its employees' performance, influenced by factors like training, available resources, management styles, and working conditions. Quality education is crucial for regional and national development, as it empowers students for future success, contributing to economic growth. However, schools in Mwatate Sub County, Taita Taveta, have demonstrated academic performance below the national average. This study aimed to assess the perceived impact of the work environment on employee productivity in selected public secondary schools within Mwatate Sub County. The research objectives included evaluating the influence of the physical work environment, employee relationships, management practices, and work-life balance on employee productivity. The study was grounded in the Two Factor Theory and the Affective Events Theory. The study targeted 145 teachers and 6 principals from six public secondary schools in Mwatate Sub County. Data was collected through questionnaires for teachers and interviews with principals. Analysis was performed using SPSS Version 25, and the findings showed a substantial explanatory power. The combined factors of the working environment (Work-Life Balance, Management Practices, Employee Relationships, and Physical Work Environment) jointly accounted for 69.6 percent of the variation in employee productivity among secondary schools in Mwatate. Additionally, the study found that the Physical Work Environment, Employee Relationships, Management Practices, and Work-Life Balance all had positive and significant effects on employee productivity. In conclusion, the study highlights the positive impact of the working environment on employee productivity and recommends that schools in Mwatate Sub County focus on enhancing their work environments to improve employee performance.
