Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the extent to which management practices impact organisational growth for a multinational company in Namibia in terms of employee motivation, employee productivity, employee engagement, work environment, and career growth. Grounded in the positivism philosophy, the study applied a causal-comparative design and a purely quantitative approach with the data collected using an online structured questionnaire with a sample of 77 employees at a multinational company in Namibia. The study analysed the data using the multiple linear regression analysis in SPSS Version 28 software. In that regard, the results reveal that feeble management practices decline in organisational growth. In that context, the results also reveal positive and statistically significant impacts of employee motivation, employee productivity, employee engagement, work environment, and career growth on organisational growth. On that basis, the study recommends that organisations consider investing resources in enhancing all these dimensions of management practices as they pursue maximised organisational growth. Also, employee satisfaction works hand-in-hand with organisational growth. Thus, the study recommends that employers ensure employee satisfaction is pleasing. Finally, the study suggests future research focus on other business sectors with a broader population coverage to enable the generalisation of the findings across the sector under investigation, which will address the population gaps that emerged from this study.
