Abstract:

The study aimed to elucidate the connection between managerial support and employee performance. The research was conducted in Tacurong City with 116 employees. A descriptive-correlational approach was used within a quantitative research design, employing a purposive sampling technique. The survey questionnaire was reviewed and contextualized to suit the respondents. Data analysis involved calculating the mean, utilizing Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, and conducting multiple regression analysis. The results indicated a very high level of managerial support across all assessed indicators, including organizational support, co-worker support, and supervisor support. Moreover, the high level of performance was linked to inference, meaning that indirect observations, workplace interactions, and general perceptions contributed to understanding an employee's contributions. The findings demonstrated a significant relationship between managerial support and employee performance in small enterprises in Tacurong City. Additionally, the study revealed a significant influence of managerial support on employee performance. Ultimately, the study examined how various leadership approaches and levels of support affected employee motivation, productivity, and job satisfaction. It highlighted that managerial support could be enhanced through effective communication, adequate resource allocation, mentorship, and the cultivation of a positive workplace environment.
