Project Abstract

Abstract
Employee remuneration is a critical aspect of organizational management as it directly influences employees' attitudes and performance within the organization. This research project focuses on evaluating the impact of remuneration on employees' attitudes and performance in organizations. The study aims to explore the relationship between the level of remuneration offered to employees and their overall attitude towards work and job satisfaction, as well as the subsequent effect on their performance levels. A mixed-methods approach will be utilized to gather data for this research. Quantitative data will be collected through surveys and questionnaires distributed to employees across different organizations, focusing on their perceptions of the adequacy of their remuneration packages and how it impacts their motivation, job satisfaction, and commitment to their roles. Qualitative data will be obtained through interviews with HR managers and organizational leaders to gain insights into the remuneration strategies and policies in place and their perceived impact on employee attitudes and performance. The research will also consider various factors that may influence the relationship between remuneration, employee attitudes, and performance, such as job roles, organizational culture, and individual differences. By examining these factors, the study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of how remuneration impacts employees in different organizational contexts. The findings of this research are expected to contribute valuable insights to both academic literature and organizational practices. Understanding the impact of remuneration on employee attitudes and performance can help organizations tailor their compensation packages to better meet employees' needs and expectations, thereby enhancing motivation, job satisfaction, and overall performance levels. Additionally, by identifying the key factors that influence this relationship, organizations can develop more effective strategies for managing employee remuneration to maximize its positive effects on employee attitudes and performance. Overall, this research project seeks to shed light on the importance of remuneration in shaping employee attitudes and behaviors within organizations. By exploring the complex interplay between remuneration, employee attitudes, and performance, this study aims to provide practical recommendations for organizations to optimize their compensation practices and create a more motivated and engaged workforce.

Project Overview

• INTRODUCTION

Remuneration refers to the mode of compensating the workers exerting their energy or spending their time in accomplishing their organizations objectives.

Remuneration can be in monetary terms or in form of services. A monetary term is of course in form of wages and salaries and part of fringe benefits like housing and transportation allowances. Compensation package has three major components which are wages and salaries, fringe benefits and the other one is incentive schemes. Remuneration which comes in form of services includes recreational services, canteen services and medical services.

Remuneration has a significant impact on workers attitude and performance in organization because it is the most effective motivational technique. Good remuneration improves productivity, while poor remuneration affects productivity adversely. However, the general problem of monetary remuneration is that they are expert in the short run but not necessarily cost effect. On the other hand, monetary remuneration can motivate workers depending on his or her needs for  money. Individual behaviour and consequently performance in an organization is related to remuneration. This is because people come to work in order to excel or to succeed in competitive situation.

As such, individuals with high needs for achievement have intense desire for success and equally intense fear of failure. As individuals, they like to see challenges set moderately difficult talk (but not impossible goal) for themselves, take realistic approach to risk, prefer to assume personal responsibilities to get the job done like specific and prompt feedback on how they are performing and likeness to work for long hours (Alfred, 1987).

Therefore, remuneration is one of the best motivational factors that facilitate individuals to put in their best in their job. As such, a well remunerated individual tends to work hard while a poorly remunerated worker does not put much effort in his or her job because such individual is not motivated.
