dc.description.abstractThis research work titled “Effect of Reward on Employee Productivity: A case Study of A.B.U. Demonstration Secondary School Zaria, focused on the problems associated with lack of effective reward system in Demonstration Secondary School A.B.U. Zaria. These are lack of uniformity in the reward system of staff, no uniformity in the exhibition of skills by the teachers due to lack of effective reward system and lack of uniformity in financial reward system. Therefore, the study is aimed at evaluating the effects of financial reward as a motivating factor for higher productivity. It is also aimed at finding out the role of financial reward in attracting and retaining workers in an organization. The study employed the following hypotheses to aid the research. - That Productivity in A.B.U. Demonstration Secondary School is low because there is lack of Uniformity in reward system of staff - That there is no uniformity in the exhibition of skills by the teachers due to lack of effective reward system. - That lack of uniformity in financial/reward system makes teachers task more ineffective. For a sound data analysis, questionnaire administration was adopted for data collection, through which (25) questions were administered on (170) population samples. The results from the data collected show that: two of the three hypotheses were accepted while the third hypothesis was not accepted. That is, on the issue of lack of uniformity in reward system of the school in hypothesis one, 65.2% of the respondents were of the view that lack of uniformity in reward system makes productivity low. The second hypothesis, which is on the issue of lack of uniformity in the exhibition of skill by teachers as a result of ineffective reward system. The result of third hypothesis shows that lack of uniformity in financial reward system does not make teachers task more ineffective. In relation to the above findings, the research study recommends that: management should see to the general welfare of workers as an important factor to be considered in trying to motivate them to work harder, employee should be encouraged to see themselves as an integral part of the organization, where possible, they should take part in decision making where such decisions affects them, employee who are due for promotion should be considered, there should be uniformity in reward system of the school, part-time teachers who have spent up to five years and above should have their appointment made permanent, management should be consistent with policies and should apply some policies to categories of staff irrespective of who is involved.en_US
