Abstract: Employee performance is a crucial determinant of any company’s long-term or short-term success; hence, it is believed to be influenced by a wide range of factors, including managerial attitude, organizational culture, information technology use, and financial incentives. It is undeniable that the majority of these factors have a positive effect on employee performance; therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine how employee performance in Libyan banking industries is impacted by managerial attitudes, financial incentives, organizational culture, and information technology. The data for this study were gathered using a postal questionnaire survey, which was administered to the employees who were chosen randomly from some of the largest banks in Libya. Several analyses of the data using SPSS software showed that among the four variables studied, only three variables (organization’s culture, financial rewards, and information technology) showed significant positive relationships with employee performance in Libyan banks.
