Abstract
Satisfaction on one’s job has become a major problem among workers.The purpose of this study
is to assess the effect of job satisfaction on project performance. The importance of the study is
based on identifying the various motivational strategies used, measures put in place to maintain
project team members, ensuring job satisfaction and the influence of job satisfaction strategies on
project cost and time performance. It has become a difficult task for organizations to keep
employees for a long time on the job. One of the reasons why project team members perform less
on their jobs is lack of job satisfaction. Others also leave their jobs for other jobs because they
want more challenging jobs related to their field. Organizations therefore have the huge task of
keeping their employees satisfied and ultimately retaining them in the organization to ensure
optimum output. This study sought to assess the effects of job satisfaction on project performance
from the perspective of project team members of selected MMDAs in Accra. The main objectives
of this research work included; To establish the underlying determinants of job satisfaction of
project team members of selected MMDAS in Greater Accra, To assess the extent of job
satisfaction of project team members in selected MMDAS in Greater Accra and to analyse the
effects of determinant of Job satisfaction of project team members on project performance of
project team members of selected MMDAS in Greater Accra. The main source of data were
obtained from primary and secondary sources. Simple random technique was used to select a
sample 90 respondents. The two methods of research used were qualitative and quantitative. Data
analysis used was descriptive statistics (mean scores and standard deviation). The results from the
research indicates that job satisfaction has a significant effect on project performance as well as
on time and cost performance, and it is recommended that the assembly must liaise effectively
with the appropriate bodies at the regional and national levels, so as to push forward for the timely
release of funds due for project staff. Shortfall in this area stifles the efficiency in work; hence
efforts must be made to improve the situation in the municipality and also other organizations in
the country as a whole.
