Hence, the need to undertake a survey on the effect of financial and non financial incentives on staff productivity in Nigeria Postal Services Kaduna.

For the fact that only NIPOST was used as the sole area of study it is no certain if the same result would be obtained in other organization.
Respondent bias and non challant attitude also constitute a greater limitation to this research.
For the fact that questionnaire constitute the only instrument use to collect data and survey research design the sole design used for the study.
