Organizational mission is a key factor in the assurance of employee performance in public universities, however, conflicts and contradictions in the mission tend to negatively impact on the productivity of employees. The study examined the association between the politics of organization mission and employee performance in public universities in Uganda. The study was informed by Max Weber’s theory of bureaucracy and   adopted a descriptive cross-sectional survey research design.  Findings revealed that the politics of organization mission contribute 23.3% to employee performance and 76.7% is by other factors.
