Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: This study examines pay reward system management and staff performance in Nigeria: using the Delta sate civil service as a focus.The data utilized in this study were obtained from both primary and secondary sources.While the primary data were derived from focus group discussions, the secondary data were obtained from relevant textbooks, journals and government documents.The findings of the study indicate that the incongruence of the pay reward system of the Delta state civil service and the central guiding principles of fairness, costs of living and moderation, the in-grained culture of poor performance and the dysfunctional employee mode of entry have negatively impacted on the performance of staff.The study made some useful recommendations including the exigency of a fair, moderate, dynamic pay reward system that should be reflective of the prevailing societal costs of living, the dismantling of the culture of poor performance and a merit-based employee entry practice.
