- Abstract
-
Incentives are financial and non-financial rewards that can be used in the public sector to motivate employees to be committed to their work, boosting their performance. Incentives are considered one of the most important factors that encourage workers to put forth great efforts and work more efficiently to achieve the institution's goals.
Hence, this study focused on assessing effects of incentives on employee performance at Chibero College of Agriculture (CCA). The researcher focused on identifying types of incentives; assessing the relationship of incentives and employee performance; and lastly, identifying other factors influencing employee performance at CCA. A sample of 16 employees was purposively selected from CCA. The data was collected through interview guide. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data.
The study discovered that at CCA there are only three types of incentives which include free housing incentive, school fees allowance incentive and agricultural products incentives. Furthermore, the findings indicated that incentives have a strong positive relationship on employee performance, though there are other factors that are influencing performance negatively at CCA. The study identified poor planning and management; and insufficient equipment as other major factors that influence employee performance. So overall, incentives have been proven to have positive effects at CCA. - Date
