Background of the Study
Performance-based compensation refers to a compensation system where employees’ pay is directly tied to their performance, usually in terms of achieving set targets or milestones. This type of compensation is intended to incentivize employees to perform at their best and contribute to the success of the organization (Hassan & Musa, 2024). For institutions such as the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), where high performance and productivity are essential, performance-based compensation schemes are increasingly being implemented to motivate employees and enhance organizational effectiveness.
Yobe State, with its distinct socio-economic challenges, provides a unique context for evaluating the effectiveness of performance-based compensation. In particular, factors such as local economic conditions, employee expectations, and job market trends may influence how performance-based incentives are perceived and how they impact employee motivation (Olalekan & Tukur, 2023). While the potential benefits of performance-based compensation are widely acknowledged, there is limited research focusing on its impact on employee motivation within the Nigerian Stock Exchange, specifically in Yobe State. This study will assess how performance-based compensation influences employee motivation and its overall impact on the NSE’s performance in Yobe State.
Statement of the Problem
Performance-based compensation has been identified as a tool for enhancing employee motivation, but its effectiveness in the context of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, especially in Yobe State, has not been fully examined. There is a need to understand how employees in the NSE respond to performance-based compensation, particularly in regions with unique socio-economic dynamics (Abubakar & Dangiwa, 2023). This study will investigate the link between performance-based compensation and employee motivation within the Nigerian Stock Exchange in Yobe State.
