Sharmin, J. A., Rahman, M. M., & Mustakim, A. B., Enhancing Employee Performance Through Motivation and the mediating Role of Employee Engagement: A study on RMG Industry at Dhaka, Jahangirnagar University Journal of Management Research (JUJMR), 5, pp.67-80, June 2022.

Abstract: Employee performance refers to how efficiently employees perform assigned duties and responsibilities. When the organization meets the expectation of employees, they become motivated and own the organization willingly. Many research has shown that demotivated employees generate low productivity and performance levels gradually decreased as well. This study analyzes different relative factors of employee job performance with effectiveness level at the managerial level in the RMG sector of Dhaka EPZ. Perceived employee engagement and perceived job motivational factors are considered here as independent variables to ensure the efficiency of employees job performance. Job performance indicates the process of reaching towards assigned goals within organization. Using the structural equation modeling Smart-PLS second-generation software, a total number of 144 employees were investigated and analyzed to reveal the result of relevancy among these three constructs. The Result has explicit that there is no significant relationship between perceived job motivation and perceived employee engagement but a significant relationship has been proven between perceived job motivation and perceived employee performance.Also proves that employes engagement has no significant relationship with job performance and perceived employee engagement has no mediating role to establish any positive relationship between perceived job motivation and perceived employee performance. The aim of this paper is to find out the influential factors of employee job performance for the stakeholders and the employers of the Ready Made Garments, especially those engaged in the Export Processing Zone in Bangladesh. Moreover, the research will assist further studies in the field of industrial relations as well.

Keywords: Employee Engagement, Job Motivation, Job Performance.

Abstract: The paper provides the assessment of the nexus between official development assistance (ODA) and gross domestic product (GDP) in Bangladesh. The official development assistance is termed as foreign aid supplied by the advanced countries to developing and less developed countries for the upgradation of their livelihood and not for the progress of military purposes. GDP depicts a quick scenario of a country by assessing the size of the economy over a period of time. Time series yearly data from 1971 to 2018 has been used for the analysis. After ADF analysis for the stationarity of data ARDL bound test has been used for determining the short-run along with long-run association between the variables. The evidence has been found that in the long-run ODA and GDP are cointegrated. The ECM model exposes the equilibrium that converges to steady state at 65% annually by analyzing ECM. The Granger Causality test in the short run OLS model indicates a unidirectional causality between ODA and GDP that means ODA causes GDP. Again in the long run OLS model there also have unidirectional causality between GDP and ODA and it indicates that GDP cause ODA and identified as GDP and ODA are not separate variables. A set of robustness test affirm the accuracy of the analysis. Lot of study is needed in this aspect to get more empirical information about the effectiveness of the official development assistance and economic overview of this country.
