Background of the Study
Reward systems play a crucial role in shaping employee behavior, motivation, and overall performance within an organization. In the banking sector, where competition for talent is fierce and customer satisfaction is paramount, a well-structured reward system can help organizations attract, retain, and motivate high-performing employees. First Bank Nigeria Plc, one of Nigeria's largest and most established financial institutions, has recognized the importance of an effective reward system in ensuring its success.
In recent years, First Bank has focused on developing reward systems that align with the bank’s strategic goals, recognizing employees’ contributions in various forms such as monetary rewards, recognition programs, career advancement opportunities, and benefits packages. However, the impact of these reward systems on employee performance in Taraba State remains understudied. Reward systems can have a profound effect on employee satisfaction, loyalty, and motivation, but the extent to which they influence employee performance in different regions, such as Taraba State, may vary depending on local workforce dynamics and the specific implementation of reward strategies.
This study seeks to examine the relationship between reward systems and employee performance at First Bank Nigeria Plc, Taraba State, with a focus on understanding how different types of rewards (e.g., intrinsic, extrinsic) contribute to improved performance. It aims to provide insights into the design of more effective reward systems tailored to the needs of the bank's employees in the state.
