Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the link between idealised consideration and the performance of healthcare workers in mid-north Uganda. Cross sectional design was adopted targeting 220 middle-level healthcare workers and 30 health facility in-charge. The genuine sample size involved 136 middlelevel healthcare workers and 28 health facility in-charges. Data were gathered by means of a self-administered questionnaire using quantitative methods to assess the link between idealised consideration and the performance of healthcare workers in Lira district. Data were analysed by means of both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The results reveal that idealised consideration employed by health facility in-charges in health centres is very relevant to the performance of healthcare workers leading to enhanced efficiency and effectiveness as well as timeliness. Nonetheless, the slow fusion of idealised consideration within the general organisational structure ruined reasonable effectiveness and timeliness for health service delivery. The outcomes of this study can be act as beneficial contribution for the Ugandan healthcare policymakers and practitioners in evolving a parameter on incorporation of attributes of idealised consideration in the performance of employee standards for better efficiency and effectiveness, timeliness and productivity. This study makes an input to the budding body of knowledge by underlining prospects for idealised consideration which can generate proactive management towards the performance of employees in Uganda. Keywords: idealised consideration, the performance of employees, efficiency, effectiveness, timeliness.

From the end of 17th century, workers started fronting varied conducts; that is, from treating them as equipment to treating them as human assets for the firmness of achieving diverse management goals and or targets (Islam & Rahman, 2020).
