 Abstract

The main aim of this research work is to investigate the relationship of the two types of rewards namely financial rewards and non-financial rewards towards employees motivation. The research work was restricted towards manufacturing company that is, West African Portland Cement. Based on the past literature, it is found that financial rewards or money has become the main motivator for employees performance in an organization. Traditionally, little thought has been given to the impact of non-financial rewards as it does not hold any immediate monetary value to the employees. However, in the context of heightened awareness among employers and employees, there has been greater emphasis on non-financial rewards, such as praise and recognition as it holds a deep and greater impact to the employees especially in the long run. This work defines the nature of financial and non financial rewards on employees motivation. By undertaking a comparison between the financial and non-financial rewards, the outcome of this paper provides vital information for organizations to structure a better rewards plan for their employees

 

 CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

  • Background of the study

It is obvious that financial and non financial motivation of employees in an organization is very essential because it aids the performance evaluation of employees in various department section etc and also assist managers to know  why worker behave in certain ways and really motivate them to perform well at work place. Motivating the personnel of an organization to make minimum effort towards the attainment of its objectives has along occupied the mind of managers from the managing directors to the invest ranking supervisors. Managers should be aware of the fact that people of the same organization work for different reasons for example, if a  manger looks at a group of workers performing the same job for some time he cannot observe that some workers perform better than others. In explaining this two variables come to mind immediately, one is the difference in degree of skill and ability displayed by individual works, the other variables can be describe as motivation therefore, to guide workers activities in the described direction, it is important for managers to know why workers behave in certain ways and what really motivate them to perform well at work place. The benefits that employee foresee for themselves and their families motivates the employee to give their best. The Rewards are categorized into two group’s financial and non financial rewards. The financial rewards are also called extrinsic rewards and non financial rewards are called intrinsic rewards. The financial rewards include pay, bonuses, allowances, insurance, incentives, promotions and job security, whereas the non financial rewards include appreciation, meeting the new challenges, caring attitude from employer, appreciation and recognition motivates the employee. The healthy working condition which fosters a professional relationship between supervisor and employee fulfills training and development needs of employees and ensures job security motivates employee. Once the pay exceeds a certain level, intrinsic factor become most important motivators. An organization’s reward system is an important tool that can lead to employee motivation. Understanding the impact of both financial and non-financial rewards, based on employee preferences, is crucial for an organization to deliver growth and shareholder value. Lawler (2003) argues that for a reward programme to work, it must be developed with a few limitations. Lawler states that a reward programme must provide necessary rewards to motivate employees; provide employees with a clear view of their roles going into the near future; give employees the authority to influence their performance and deliver on it.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROLEM

Fulfilled and motivated employees incline to be more committed and productive to their organization (Syptak, Marsland, & Ulmer, 1999). To better employee work performance, organizations must attempt to maintain their motivated employees. Munsamy and Venter (2009) argue that in the current world of work, where the competition for talented individuals is prevalent, capable individuals have an extensive choice of employment, in both local and international markets. Stander and Rothmann (2008) argue that it is vital for organizations to adapt to changing circumstances. Human resource management is therefore viewed as a vital source of an organisations competitive advantage. Consequently, the manner in which employees are managed in an organisation will gradually define whether an organisation will grow or continue to survive (Lawler, 2003). It is essential that organisations adapt to these changes by proposing financial and non-financial rewards unique to today’s workforce. To address this need, this study will explore the impact of financial and non-financial reward programmes on employee job motivation by understanding the preferences and insights of employees and organizations
