AND SALARIES POLICIES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF WORKERS OF NATIONAL EYE CENTRE
ABSTRACT
This
research study deals with an evaluation of the impact of wages and salaries
policies on the performance of workers in government parastatals, with special
reference to National Eye Centre Kaduna. The objectives of the study is to find out
government policies with respect to wages and salaries in various government
parastatals, the problems encountered while implementing wages and salaries in
Nigeria, to also determine the effectiveness of wages and salaries policies on
the performance of workers in government parastatals. The research method use in this research work
is survey methods for data collection.
The findings of this research work are that it is obvious that the most
tangible means of compensation are wages and salaries, a major determinant of
wages and salaries is the pay level of other organization. In conclusion, this research work concluded
that wages and salaries policy influence the performance of workers in government
parastatals in Nigeria.
The recommendations are since wages and salaries are the most tangible form of
compensation, organization should ensure an equitable pay structure for the
employees at all time. There should be a
proper collective bargaining process to ensure that wages are fixed at the
choice of both the employer and employees fixed at the choice of both the
employer and employees so that there will not be friction later on.

INTRODUCTION
1.1
BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Employer
provides work for employees just as employee on the other hand enables
organization and nation to provide or produce goods and services for the
ultimate benefit of mankind (O’ Donnell 2000).
This
is essentially in the nation building process.
When goods are provided and services rendered, economy benefits also
come to play. According to an abstract
of employment, employers pays workers for productivity and services. This is of a symbolic advantage because just
as employee help employers to make profit, the employer also give wages and
salaries to employees to enable them meet their personal and domestic
aspirations.
Fairly
to pay wages and salaries has resulted in very important conflict in labour and
management relation. Therefore, wages
and salaries according to Mackenzie is the most significant reward that would
assist them to have a good standard of living.
Wages
and salaries are used as motivational factors or strategies (Micheal A.
2005). This is explain by piece: rate
system which allows payment of wages in relation to job done, in addition,
people have been seen to converse for work in organization, wages and salaries
are no charitable grant by organization but a significant aspect of the right
of worker in the productivity process.
Payment must be made for job done by labour. Profit made should not only be for growth and
development of companies while workers suffer physically and economically.
The
idea of national minimum wage is based on the understanding of the fact that
there must be a border line under which employers must not fall in the payment
of salaries and wages to workers who need to maintain a living standard.
1.2
STATEMENT
OF PROBLEM
This
research is carried out to evaluate wages and salaries policies on the
performance of government parastatals in Nigeria with a case study of
National Eye Centre Kaduna. Despite the
services rendered by the public sector, salary increment is still a
problem. The agitation for more salary
is still on because of increasing level of standard of living. The global economic crisis also has brought
about the agitation for salary increment and this is the reason for almost all
the industrial action being embarked by personnel working in government
parastatals.
In
the case of salary increment, my research also recorded poor performance in
government parastatals. This means that
the services rendered are not commensurate to the money been paid an
employee. For instance even when there
is increment for worker in government parastatals, we still notice inadequate
performance, this is applicable to all parastatals like water board, education
sector, power holding company of Nigeria etc. with all this increment, why is
the performance in government parastatals still poor?
Could
it be that wages and salaries policies are defective? Then this research work
intend to find out the influence of wages and salaries policies in government
parastatals.
1.3

RESEARCH
HYPOTHESIS
H0:
Increase in salaries and wages does not influence the performance of workers in
government parastatals in Nigeria.
H1:
Increase in salaries and wages influences the performance of workers in
government parastatals in Nigeria.
1.6
SCOPE
OF THE STUDY
This
research work conducted to examine the possible relationship between wages and
salaries policies and the overall performance in an organization using National
Eye Centre Kaduna as a case study and primary source of data.
The
major research work also highlights some of the major important sector for
improving the quality of policy of wages and salaries in government parastatals. Hence it is not a comprehensive study of the
whole parastatals. The study has been
retrieved to some selected areas of the parastatals salary administration using
the Human Resources Management Department.
1.7
LIMITATION
OF THE STUDY
Some
of the limitation encountered in the course of this study were poor response to
some of the verbal interview and the questionnaires.
Also,
there was lack of adequate funds to obtaining relevant information from
National Eye Centre and from other sources.
Lastly,
the time frame of the research which was too short also pose some limitation to
this work.
