REWARD SYSTEMS AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN NIGERIA

REWARD SYSTEMS AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN NIGERIA

ABSTRACT
The art of teaching ordinarily brings satisfaction to the teachers and the pupils. Imparting
knowledge gives psychological up liftment and inner joy to all parties involved. It has however been
observed that this eternal joy of the teachers is being eroded over time: with incessant strikes,
lockout, work to rule, non-payment of salary and allowances, compulsory and untimely retirement,
non-promotion and stagnation; the yoke of teachers is manifold and burdensome. This study
therefore examines the place of reward systems on employee’s performance in Lagos state. The
study empirically examines data collected from selected secondary schools in the state to draw a
nexus between employee reward system and job performance. In an attempt to address the
problems, descriptive research design was adopted through survey research. 200 questionnaires
were randomly administered to ten (10) sampled public schools in the state. Three hypotheses were
formulated and tested at 95 percent (%) confidence level using statistical package for social science
(SPSS). The findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between employee’s
performance and salary package, employee job allowances and performance and in-service
training and employee’s performance. The study therefore, recommends that adequate salary,
allowances in terms of housing, health, hazard, transfer, involvement of teachers in decision
making, establishment of teachers salary scale in line with other profession so as to promote job
security.
