Effect of Motivational Incentives on the Performance of Employees in Tanzania Public Sector A Case of Dodoma City Council.

Abstract

The effect of motivational incentives on employee performance at the Dodoma City Council was examined in this study. A sample of 100 respondents was used in the case study design of the research, and 87 of them answered the questionnaires that were given out. The results of the qualitative and quantitative analyses of primary and secondary sources were enhanced by the use of documentary reviews, questionnaires, and interviews. According to the report, Dodoma City Council employs a variety of incentives; these tactics include, but are not limited to, employee development, bettering working conditions, yearly bonuses and financial awards, training, and recognition. Additionally, the research demonstrated a statistically significant relationship between employee performance and motivation (p = 0.001). Lastly, the study also demonstrated that a number of other factors, including a deficiency of information, feedback, biased decision-making, and difficulties with reward and recognition, were important. Complicated sales incentive criteria and subpar performance reviews were also identified as obstacles to DCC's implementation of employee motivation. The study comes to the conclusion that there is no question about the important role that motivation plays in employees. As a result, it suggests that the government include motivation in its human resource planning since it can boost organizational productivity.
