Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between job-sharing arrangements and Generation Y employee performance in Kenya Ports Authority, Mombasa. The study was premised on the Expectancy Theory. This study adopted the descriptive survey design and targeted the 3,562 Generation Y employees and the HR management of KPA. A sample size of 138 respondents was used that was obtained from the Cochran formula and selected through stratified random sampling technique. Structured questionnaires were used for data collection. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis, such as, frequencies and percentages and inferential statistic involving the use of correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The findings of the study showed that job-sharing arrangements had favourable impact on Generation Y employee performance. Job-sharing had positive effects on generation Y employee performance. As a result, the findings suggest that job-sharing (independent) factor served as reliable indicators of employee output. The study recommended that organizations need to improve their awareness of the traits that define members of the generation Y workforce in order to maximize the generation Y workforce's potential for productivity in the workplace. Additional research is necessary in order to gain a complete understanding of how job-sharing influence particular types of workers. The adoption of the study would be beneficial to stakeholders for managerial decision making in KPA and elsewhere.
