The research further aims to explore the challenges facing the adequate implementation of the job specialization approach in the ministry. In that respect, a structured questionnaire form was designed and distributed to a convenient sample of Employees affiliated with the different departments within the ministry. The total number of distributed forms was 29 of which 26 forms were returned and valid for analysis. The data analysis process involved measuring the validity and reliability of the research questions followed by a descriptive statistical analysis conducted with the aid of SPSS.V.27 (2024). The study findings indicated that no clear job description for the different jobs within the ministry does exist. Moreover, implementing the job specialization approach in the ministry rarely exists. Nevertheless, the ministry is currently taking steps towards enhancing employee productivity by properly implementing job specialization principles.
