Job performance relates to how an individual performs when carrying out the activities assigned to him. In this way, it is considered whether or not the person is suitable for the assigned position. It is about the effectiveness, quality and efficiency of the individual work.
Job performance, which is influenced by numerous factors, is realized when an individual is able to successfully achieve the task appointed to him/her under subject to less constraints at the work place. [1]

Some factors that affect job performance are:
- Work conditions: If an employee is in an environment of constant harassment, stress, lack of motivation, long working hours, poor hygiene, etc. it can unleash a lack of commitment to do quality work. Better working environment would cause an effect toward the satisfaction level of the individual and hence further influencing the job performance of the worker. [2]
- Training: some jobs require specialized knowledge and require a minimum educational level. The absence of employee training would cause poor performance and not reaching the established goals.
