1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS
The usually enhanced remuneration paid
to the civil servants, have been rendered inadequate by the high rates
of inflation pervading the economy over the years. The civil and public
services have witnessed a lot of neglect which has led to a drop in
salary and wages and efficiency of both civil and public servants. In
response to this, study in the public and civil services, the employers
of labour (government and private enterprises) introduce the method and
process of compensating their employees through what is called salaries
and wages administration. Though, employers will impact positively on
the employees morale and subsequently induce their performance. This
work is set to solve the problems of salaries and wages and performances
in an organization. This will go a long way in improving their
performance and hence lead to higher productivity. Promotion policy
should be awarded as at when due. From the analysis above, it shows that
if workers’ salaries and wages are equitable it will enhance the
performance of the employees. The problems of salaries and wages not
paid as at when due, salaries and wages increment etc need to be solved
through good salaries and wages policy. There should be no delay on
annual leave, maternity leave, transport allowance, housing allowances,
and medical allowances.
1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Salaries and
wages administration is one of the newest personnel challenges in
modern organization. This study hopes to provide a comprehensive
document that would discuss salaries and wages administration in Nigeria
and its impact on
performance in an organization. The research work is of a great importance to the employers and employees in the following ways:
(1) To attract and retain sufficient and suitable employees that will help the organization to achieve its objectives.
(2) To reward employees of their efforts and commitment to the organization.
(3) To motivate workers to a high performance.
(4)
It also reveals the extent to which salary and wages administration
policy can go a long way in improving workers’ performance in the
organization and hence lead to increased productivity.
The employees
and the employers are the beneficiaries of this study because when
employees are well paid, they tend to work well by so doing, the
organization is increasing their productivity because the employees are
committed to their work.
1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of the
study is limited to Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State. In
understanding a research work, its scope is normally defined with
respect to a geographical and time dimension. The fixing of such
boundaries is usually resorted to due to the problems posed by the
administration of a large data. This study therefore, conforms to
enhance the salaries and wages of the worker within the organization to
increase their performance.
1.5 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The
obvious limitations of time, finance and materials such as textbooks and
other resources on the researcher makes it absolutely impossible to
embark on such comprehensive study that will cover the comparative study
of the whole local government in the state. Hence, the limitation has
necessitated the choice of a case study which is Olamaboro local
government area.
Hence, the choice local government as a case study
is not arbitrarily embarked upon by the researcher. It was expected that
the study would serve as a representation of a state from whose
inductive research finding would be of general application. The
researcher hopes that other scholars interested in salaries and wages
administration will undertake a more comprehensive study to cover the
entire state in the future. Therefore, wages are regularly, hourly or
weekly payment made or received by workers for services rendered by an
employer. Hence, both salaries and wages are payment for labour service.
