Abstract

This study examines how federal employees' perceptions of innovation, teamwork, diversity, personal development, and customer orientation influence organizational performance. Analyzing 300 responses from the 2022 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), the research used descriptive and inferential statistics alongside thematic analysis for a holistic understanding. Key findings reveal that innovation drives personal accomplishment, diversity enhances engagement, and teamwork and customer orientation positively impact workplace dynamics. The study underscores the importance of inclusive practices. It offers actionable recommendations for federal agencies to improve workplace culture and performance. Future research should explore these findings' broader applicability and long-term impacts.
