THE ROLE OF FINANCIAL INCENTIVES TO WORKERS MOTIVATION
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background Of The Study
In any organization, the financial capability of employees is a very important factor as it determines the level or the extent to which he or she is motivated to expend his effort on the job performance.
The financial capability and other motivating modules that are at the disposal of a worker(s) is a liable determining factor for his or her level of productivity as this would affect the achievement or otherwise of an organizational set objectives.
In concrete terms, all of the requirements that the workers need to have are aids that will enhance job performance through increase productivity.
The term “incentives” is used to describe wage-payment plans which tie wage directly or indirectly to productivity standards (Ubeku, 1975, pg 139).
Incentives though is different from wages such as financial and material, etc. but in this study, we are mostly concerned with financial incentives as expressly exposed by Ubeku above, it is also referred to as wages incentives. Financial incentives is very important to the wellbeing of an employee as it places a very important role on his job. effort. This is because, a lack or fall short of this will negatively affect his attitude to work. And as a result, the important and the place of financial incentive cannot be undermined.
Hence financial incentive is of paramount importance as it is a payment method that enable employees to earn more money for producing more than a certain quota or set standard. Okoh (2005, pg 169).
Incentive is also regarded or used as a motivating factor in an organization. Ubekwe (1975, pg 139). It is a measure that is employed or been put in place to make a worker put extra effort in his work in other to ensure a high or a maximum productivity.
Financial incentive is regarded as a motivating factor for an employee through which its importance can be deciphered in a number of ways.
One of the ways (importance) is that financial incentive will motivate people (workers) to perform their job effectively to the extent to which they are satisfied with their jobs. That is greater than the extent to which an employee needs are satisfied, the greater the extent to which he or she will respond in terms of high level of productivity.
Another assumption is that when a reward is tied to a job, employee would be motivated to put in his effort maximally into his job.
Therefore, financial incentive helps an organization increase productivities, improve performance of individual employees and the organization needs to overall efficiency. Thus financial incentive to worker is very important as it is a motivating factor or scheme in an organization. Because, the extent of an employee’s economic (financial) will go a long way to arousing his or her innate ability to do his work.
No management system will be effective if it continually emphasizes higher level of performance and improvement, but fails to reward and to reorganize work of the employees. Therefore, managers and workers at all levels should consider productivity and the reward attach to it .which is (financial incentives).
