influence of job security on employee job performance at Bishop Stuart University, to establish the influence of
career development on employee job performance at Bishop Stuart University, and to establish the extent to which
reward competitiveness influences job performance of employees at Bishop Stuart University. A cross-sectional
study design was adopted in which both quantitative and qualitative data collection tools were used. Data was
collected from 96 respondents particularly university managers, teaching staff, administrative and support staff.
Descriptive and inferential statistics in terms of correlations and regression analysis were generated. The results
showed that job security had a strong positive effect on employee job performance at BSU in Mbarara district

district (β=0.219). Analysis results also showed that there was a moderate positive effect of rewards competitiveness
