CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1     Background to the Study

          The business world has gradually metamorphosed into a complex sector of the society; one of the primary objectives of any business organization is the survival and growth in its operations. For this to be achieved, every employee in the organization has to be compensated to motivate them to contribute their maximum effort to the achievement of organization objectives.

          The basic tool for attracting and retaining key people of superior caliber, is to encourage workers to strive for advancement and motivating employee to perform effectively is by adequately compensating them for the job they do in the organization workers are very sensitive to unfair treatment by management because they have private needs and goals which are unique to them individually (Herbert 1980).

          Therefore there is need for the organization to employ a good policy for compensating employees in order to meet their needs which will enable them to contribute maximally to the goals and objectives of the organization. As a result, one of the traditional personnel function is to determine employee compensation having known that employees satisfaction affect the organization productivity and their tendency to stay with the organization. Compensation of employees is planned and administered by top management in the personnel department. Compensation means all forms of reward in payment or otherwise which goes to employees at all organizational levels. (Colon 1996).

          Some of the types of compensation given to employees in an organization are monetary rewards such as bonuses, salaries, commission, paid vacation and holiday retirement, pay incentives etc. non monetary reward are good working condition, interesting job recognition etc each organization has a policy or pattern of reward system in compensating is employees.

          There are many reasons for compensating or rewarding employees but the most important of the which the researchers want to deliberate on motivating them to perform. Before employees can perform effectively, he ahs to be given incentives, adequate reward to satisfy their private needs that they can easily accept the burden posed on them by their employers or those superior and also willing to contribute their quota to the achievement of the organizations objectives.

These had over the time generate conflict of interest in some organization between management and non-management staffs of organization. Based on the above mention problems, the researcher attempt to fill the gap of knowledge.
