5.0 Summary of Findings, Conclusion and Recommendations

5.1 Summary of Findings

The research set out in this study to analyse the effect of compensation on workers performance, it was found that, the majority of the workers in the organization are not adequately compensated, thereby leading to many dysfunctional behaviour of the workers like lateness divided loyalty etc. the researcher also found out some other fact which includes;

1. Lack of awareness of total compensation packages: It shows that there were either no avenues for the available compensation packages to be communicated to employees or the avenues existed but not being managed.
2. Lack of a system to measure employee performances since the performances system is absence, it hampers the smooth administration of the compensation in the organization.
3. Inefficient or no communication on compensation issue

The study also reveled that issues concerning employee compensation were not communicated effectively through the institution and employees also did not have a forum to be heard on the issues they have concerning their compensation packages and their management. Employees therefore were not involved in the formulation and implementation of policies concerning compensation in the company.

Also it was discovered that compensation is not been given to workers based on their level of performance which made some of the workers to say that they don’t know what compensation really is

5.2 Conclusion

In conclusion, compensation of workers is the vital aspect of any organization.

Lack of compensation of workers reeds accidents and rate negative lack of direction, irrationalism and even aggression.

In this situation, some employees indulge in action that negate the attainment of the organization goal. No manager is prepared to forfeit the objectives of his organization, this he strives to give the workers the required incentive that will spur them to channel their effort towards improving productivity.

On the other hands, goods, compensation is crucial for achieving organizational objectives some experts have supported this stand point. Unfortunately, the workers need have been fully recognized by the authorities concerned. The workers of these organization are poorly compensated, their salaries are poor, their loyalty efficiency and performance are not taken into consideration in promotion of staffs and workers in the industry.

Based on the findings the researcher discovered that compensation is an inevitable functions of a management in an organization. Management compensate by providing an environment that induces subordinates to contribute to the organization. Compensation is a job. Satisfaction is not much present in some cotton mill in Anambra State no understanding between the senior and junior staff.

In Nigeria to day, money is a strong compensation to all grade of workers as against what is obtained.
In the developed ones, like United State of America, workers in Nigeria have not yet satisfied, their basic needs such as foods, shelter, and safety.

The Nigeria economy in recent years has witnessed constant increase in the cost of living that is, “economic melt down” An average workers in a country is finding it very difficult to feed 3 times in a day. This has restricted a lot of irrational behaviours. A great deal of man hour are lost as workers leave their desk. Office or work location in order to escape the high degree of discomfort associated with the poor physical structure.

Therefore, it is the opinion of the researcher that unless management of these company are unable to make the company a good place for workers, the image of the company will continue to remain poor in the eyes of the public, thus afflicting its operation in various ways.

Finally employees usually do not have the whole picture of their entitlement when it comes to compensation and this could be as a result of their employer’s not providing them with the relevant policy manuals to read and educate themselves or their own lack of interest in reaching those manuals when they are provided for them.

5.3 Recommendation

Based on the study findings, the following recommendation could be considered to address the issue revealed by the study.

1. The management of the general cotton Mill Onitsha in Anambra State should always look into workers need and linkage between effort and performance also reward and individual needs satisfaction this will no doubt enable them to derive appropriate compensation strategies for increase productivity.
2. The employees should also be paid fair and equitable salaries based on the prevalent economy and social conditions. These salaries should be the type that workers could perceive as being fair and equitable.
3. The manager is equally to decide properly on laid down promotion policy promotion should be seen to be reward for skill intelligence or initiative which involve experience and not length of series.
4. The study revealed a lack of performance management system in the organization hence a good deficiency in the administering of performance. It is therefore recommended that management prioritize the implementation of a performance management system to measure the output of employees and that should be used as a tool to reward the compensation packages to employees. The researcher believes this will ensure fairness.

5.4 Limitations of the Study

The researcher encountered many problem in the course of data collections and in writing the project.

The problem encountered however, and due to lack of enough financial, has limited numbers of questionnaires to be administered to the respondents.

Finally, the few questionnaires that was produced and distributed for data collection has some problems some respondents refused to fill them, those who did fill their own had some negative responses. The researcher is constrained therefore with a lot of problems thus, there is every tendency for a degree of errors to occur in the final data evaluation.

5.5 Suggestions for Further Research

Owing to the limited time for this research work, the researcher could not carry out an exhaustive research on such areas of observing on some of the compensational technique.

The research therefore recommends of future researchers to study the areas. Another areas of future research is to identify the views and why most managers try to eliminate “compensation” as one of their functions.
