    (Kampala International University ,College of humanities and social science, 2014-11) Mary Nalubega, Tuunde
    The study investigated job safety and employee productivity among selected public and private organizations of Makerere University, Dairy Corporation and the Uganda National Association of Teachers Union, in Kampala, Uganda. Specifically, the levels of Job Safety, and levels of Employee Productivity, were examined. Additionally, the relationship between Job Safety and Employee productivity was examined. The study adopted a descriptive Cross sectional and correlation survey design. Using simple random sampling, a sample of 219 respondents was extracted from a target population of 484 respondents. Results revealed a high level of job safety among Public and Private Organizations in Kampala in Uganda (mean = 2.97). It was also established that overall, employee productivity in public and private organizations in Kampala was high (mean=2.72). Study findings further revealed a positive relationship between job safety and employee productivity among Public and Private Organizations in Kampala in Uganda (r = 0.677, sig. 0.000 < 0.05).The hypothesis that there is “no relationship between job safety and employee productivity among Public and Private Organizations in Kampala, Uganda” was thus rejected. It was recommended that, the government should put in place laws aiming at protecting workers against health issues associated with their work.
