The purpose of the study was to identify the types of working conditions at the Beposo Health Centre, the nature of their working conditions and the effects of hygiene factors on employees’ productivity. Data were drawn from 33 employees of the Health Centre using a questionnaire and analyzed using Predictive Analytical Software to determine the frequency and mean. The study found that employees at the health centre were provided with job security, work-life balance, occupational health and safety and workload. It also ascertained that the physical work environment was not comfortable for the employees although they were provided a considerable amount of workload and high job security. Also, it was revealed that noisy environment, stress and absence of work-life balance were some hygiene factors that affected employees’ productivity. This study has implications for the development of procedures and measures to improve employees working conditions and productivity in the developing country context.
