This study adopts a quantitative technique as primary data was gathered through a validated instrument. The quantitative approach relied on a total enumeration sampling technique, with a Population equal to the sample size (275). The inferential statistical tool which is the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (Smart PLS-SEM) version was adopted to analyze the data. The results revealed that Adj R2=0.254; p=0.000, Q2 =0.164). Findings also showed that performance evaluation significantly influenced employee job satisfaction in the federal government agency.
