CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The employees are regarded as the pivot behind the success of any organization in Nigeria. The pivotal function of Human resource management promotions and job security, whereas the non financial is to implement practices that enhance the satisfaction of rewards include appreciation, meeting the new challenges, employees with their jobs.
Employees expect financial and non financial rewards for their services and efforts. Financial incentives are the financial payments made to the employees for their high performance. According to Naldöken et al. (2011: 286), the financial incentives provided for employees are listed as payment raise, premiums, profit share, economic awards, payment packages, etc. According to Ellis and Pennington (2004), the financial incentives have a short-term effect on the motivation levels of employees although they play a critical role in their motivation. Therefore, non-financial incentives are also required to give a long-term motivational effect instead of the short-term effects of financial incentives at these premises. Non-financial incentives are listed as enabling authority, participating in the management, job enrichment, promotion, holidays, better working atmosphere (opportunity of air-conditioning, less noise, etc.), enhancing a sense of belonging.
In the absence of equitable pay, training and development opportunities and recognition, employees get dissatisfied and do not perform to the standards. The dissatisfaction resulting from the unavailability of financial and non financial reward usually leads to high employee turnover and poor performance. The benefits that employee foresee for themselves and their families motivates the employee to give their best. The Rewards are categorized into two groups’ 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. Different types of financial and non financial rewards are discussed below. Fringe benefit is the benefit that is given to employee in addition to pay. It motivates the employee. The availability of fringe benefits creates a motivating environment and lead to an increase in production, sales and profitability. Bonuses are offered to the employees when they achieve certain standards and quotas. Pay is the compensation given to employees which is proportionate to the skills, knowledge and their expectations. Money is ranked at the top because it enables to fulfill their basic needs of life. At the same time money is considered as the sign of triumph and accomplishment because it allows the human to fulfill the needs of belongingness
