Data were collected from 150randomly selected respondents using structured questionnaire. The mean age of the respondents was 33 years.Organizational climate factors enhancing employees’ job performance were: availability of facilities & resources (x− 19.12), award systems (x − 16.99), training programs (x = 15.96), leadership styles (x= 15.54), and employee’s empowerment (x=12.98). Also, employees’ perceived indicators of their job performance were punctuality at work (x= 4.23) and complementation of task (x= 4.21). The regression analysis indicated that leadership styles (b1= 3.835, p<0.05), award systems (b1= −3.188, p<0.05), employees empowerment (b1= 3.061, p<0.05), training programs (b1=2.361, p<0.05) and availabilities of resources (b1= 2.098, p<0.05) had significant influence on job performance.
