Abstract:

The current study assessed factors influencing work productivity in Tanzania’s local government authorities, a case of Ilemela Municipal in the City of Mwanza. The study was guided by three objectives. To assess the relationship between employee engagement and employees work productivity at Ilemela Municipal Council, to examine the link between the family – resources spillover and employee’s work productivity at Ilemela Municipal Council and to find out the link between perceived organizational support and employees work productivity at Ilemela Municipal Council. Drawing from conservation of resources theory and work – family resources spillover theory, the study hypothesized that, employees’ work engagement positively relates to work productivity, work – family resources spill over positively relates to work productivity and lastly, perceived organizational support positively relates to work productivity. The findings of the current study indicated that all the hypotheses were tested positive and very significant. It was hence concluded that, employees’ work engagement is positively related to work productivity, work – family resources spill over positively relates to work productivity and perceived organizational support positively relates to work productivity. The practical implications of the study is that, managers need to effectively implement work – family life policies and practices at work environment so that to trigger some positive attitudes and emotions that enhances more productivity at the working place.
