Background of the Study
Non-monetary rewards refer to non-financial incentives that organizations use to motivate and retain employees. These rewards may include recognition, career development opportunities, job autonomy, work-life balance, and personal growth programs, among others. In recent years, businesses have increasingly recognized the importance of non-monetary rewards as a critical factor in enhancing employee engagement and organizational performance (Akinyemi & Alabi, 2024). While monetary rewards like salaries, bonuses, and commissions remain a common form of employee motivation, there is growing evidence suggesting that non-monetary rewards have a significant and lasting impact on employee satisfaction, loyalty, and performance (Adeola & Owolabi, 2023).
MTN Nigeria, as a leading telecommunications company in the country, faces intense competition in both the telecommunications sector and in attracting and retaining a skilled workforce. Non-monetary rewards play a crucial role in enhancing employee motivation and commitment to the company’s goals. Research has shown that when employees feel valued and recognized for their contributions, they are more likely to remain committed to the organization and perform at higher levels (Ogunyemi & Eze, 2025). Non-monetary rewards can also foster a positive organizational culture, improve employee morale, and strengthen teamwork. This study seeks to examine the role and impact of non-monetary rewards on the organizational performance of MTN Nigeria, exploring how such rewards contribute to increased employee productivity, job satisfaction, and overall company performance.
Statement of the Problem
While non-monetary rewards have been recognized for their positive impact on employee engagement and organizational performance, there is limited research on their specific impact within the Nigerian telecommunications industry. MTN Nigeria, being one of the largest telecom companies in the country, faces challenges in improving employee performance in an increasingly competitive and dynamic environment. Despite offering various non-monetary rewards, there is uncertainty regarding their true effectiveness in enhancing organizational performance. This study aims to evaluate how non-monetary rewards influence employee productivity and overall organizational success at MTN Nigeria.
