ABSTRACT
The impact of
Remuneration and working conditions on organization’s productivity. The
study is aimed at appraising the conditions of work as well as compensations to
workers.
For the above purpose to
be achieved, research has been carried out. Hypothesis were tested, data
were sourced both primary and secondarily.
It was found out from
the findings that, both good working conditions and bad working conditions have
effects on the performance of workers.
From the foregoing, it
was discovered that good working conditions, coupled with equitable
compensation motivate the workers of the life brewery Onitsha effectively and
efficiently, increasing productivity (performance). In same vein, the
researcher found out, that, bad working conditions and effect on the
performance of workers.
Based on the findings
the researcher has concluded and suggested that the management of the life
brewery should encourage the workers by creating a good working
conditions/atmosphere for them.
Moreso, an equitable
working condition should be given to the workers as a for the effort they

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Remuneration is an
important instrument that can insert into the workers, the strong effect to
bring out their best in order to attain organizational objective.
Remuneration is concerned with the wage and salary administration for various
jobs within particular organizations in other words remuneration is a form of
compensation given to workers in exchange for work they performed.
Compensation is grouped into direct and indirect.
Direct compensation is
the financial payment made at the time work is performed examples of direct
compensation are wages, salaries, overtime pay, commission and bonuses.
Wages are usually distinguished from salaries and refer to direct compensation
received by a worker paid according to hourly rates.
A worker paid on
monthly, semi-monthly or weekly basics received a salary. Workers
receiving a salary receive their pay according to the specific number of hours
they work. Besides, wages and salaries, workers are also compensated for
their efforts by certain benefits such benefits are paid during vacation days
and holidays. Health care, insurance and pensions are forms of indirect
compensation. Before remuneration can make an employee to work very well,
it must have to be interns of the effort the job needs in other words a
motivating remuneration is the one that is equitable to workers contribution
towards the achievement of the organization’s objectives.
Therefore, a fair
remuneration programme is one that responsive to this managerial and economic
objective and ensures acquisition and maintenance of a regular adequate supply
of labour for the worker not to feel cheated for a remuneration scheme to satisfy
or favour the workers, it must embrace the following:-
1.
Periodic review of organization’s wages/salary structure to be in tune with the
changing nature of the environment.
2.
control of differential rates of pay and evaluation of individual and group
performance for equitable compensation, through such schemes as incentive
payments, merits rating group bonus, overtime payment e.t.c.
just as better working
conditions and equitable remunerations make workers to be effective and
efficient in the same manner, poor working conditions and inequitable
remunerations make workers to be ineffective and inefficient as a result of the
uncared attitudes they might put up.
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF STUDY
The term “working
condition” is very wide. It is wide in the sense that it involves diverse
aspects of administration and management, such aspects as office environment,
office communication, and motivation e.t.c.
Office environment as
factor of working condition affect the performance of workers. Workers
today are more educated than before they are likely to raise questions about
their environment of work, since, management is in itself a dynamic process, it
has to support and address itself to the provision of good environment of work
for workers for increased productivity.
Some of the internal
conditions suitable for office environment include:-
1.
Cleanliness:- For good
health of workers and extension of life and conditions of equipment.
2.
Avoidance of other crowding:- This permits free movement of both workers and
materials as well as enhances effective operational processes.
3. Temperature:- Workers
and certain machines are successful in cool or air-conditioner offices than in
hot and noisy areas.
4. Ventilation:- Good
ventilation is relevant and necessary for effective office work adequate number
of windows that can allow enough into the office is preferred.
5. Sanitary
convenience:- Workers
at work need toilets, wash hand basins, water towel, soap etc. for their
convenience.
6. Light:-
The offices should be adequately light to assist workers especially during
clouding periods and peak periods when they have to stay far into the evening.
7.
Office premises:- Consideration should be given to banks, post
offices restaurants, markets, customers etc.
All the above conditions
it well provided for the workers, definitely their performance will be improved
by a certain percentage.
Besides the condition of
offices the organization should also be responsible in provision of the
residential apartment of workers and unhealthy and poor residence can make
workers to be unhealthy likewise a worker can only be able to put up his or her
best when he or she is healthy. Therefore, the management should care for
their workers residential environment also.
Communication is also an
important tool that is needed by workers for the effective and efficient
performance of their job in an organization. It is an inevitable tool
when discussing the conditions of work, because it is the foundation upon which
organization and administration must be build.
Motivation is another
tool in working conditions of workers motivation affect workers performance a great
deal that is why some workers perform better than others in an organization as
a result individuals are motivated by different factors. Based on that,
managements should have at their finger tips that they have diverse and
unpredictable groups of workers to motivate. This diversify may result in
different behavioural patterns which in most cases relate to needs and
goals. Some of the factors are training and development, salaries and
wages, benefits, welfare services, understanding between workers and management
staff.
Workers will prefer to
work in an organization where the above motivating factors are well
appropriated. If the factors included in the working conditions of
workers will work in happiness and good faith, a happy worker is a productive
worker. Therefore, there is no doubt that a motivated workers performance
will be improved.
Just as a motivated
worker is expected to perform his work properly, if the need or condition of a
workers is left unsatisfied, the highly deficient need or condition can lead to
frustration, conflict and stress. Social ills associated with frustration,
conflict and stress include:-
1.
Defensive behaviour:-
This type of behaviour can occur when one tries to protect one’s image
absenteeism or withdrawal is part of defensive behaviour.
2. Aggression:- This
is a reaction to unsatisfied condition in work environment. This type of
action is directed towards an organization by a worker in an improper working
condition.
3. Rationalisation:- This
a situation where by a worker explain failure in manner that is acceptable to
others because his/her working condition is poor.

locate better and genuine answers to the research problems, the following
research questions have been put forward thus:
1.
What are the effects of working condition and compensation on workers
