It was guided by three research objectives and they included: To examine the influence of shared values on employee performance for teaching staff at Uganda Christian University, Mbale University College. To assess the influence of university mission on employee performance for teaching staff at Uganda Christian University, Mbale University College. To establish the influence of university goal on employee performance for teaching staff at Uganda Christian University, Uganda University College. Descriptive research design involving qualitative and quantitative approaches were used. A sample of 74 respondents was determined by use of the Krejcie and Morgan table approach The sample size of 74 was determined using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) from a study population of 91 respondents. Data was analysed using a mixed approach. The study found that shared values had a significant effect on employee performance for teaching staff at Uganda Christian University, Uganda University College with r squared of 7.4%. University mission, on the other hand, had a significant effect on employee performance for teaching staff at Uganda Christian University, Uganda University College with r squared of 17.8%. University goal was also found to be a significant determinant of performance, accounting for 32.2% (r square=.322) of employee performance. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the university should invest in developing and promoting shared values and university mission among its teaching staff. This could be achieved through training and communication strategies that promote these values and mission. The study also suggests that further research should be conducted to explore the potential impact of other factors such as leadership, work environment, and employee motivation on the performance of teaching staff in Uganda Christian University.
