Background of the study:
The interplay between salary structure and job commitment is a critical factor in organizational performance and employee satisfaction. In Ibadan North, Oyo State, companies continually reassess compensation policies to retain talent and enhance productivity (Clark, 2025). This study investigates how different salary structures influence employee morale and commitment to organizational goals. With evolving economic conditions, workers increasingly demand transparency and fairness in remuneration, prompting organizations to restructure pay scales (Adams, 2023). Such changes are expected to directly impact job commitment, as employees perceive equitable salary structures as recognition of their contributions (Brown, 2024). Additionally, the study explores how performance incentives, bonuses, and salary increments can be aligned with organizational objectives to foster loyalty. This comprehensive investigation delves into theoretical perspectives on compensation and practical outcomes, analyzing statistical data and employee feedback to reveal underlying trends. The research aims to identify the critical aspects of salary policies that drive employee commitment, thus contributing to the broader discourse on human resource management and organizational behavior.
Statement of the problem:
In Ibadan North, inconsistent salary structures have led to varying levels of employee commitment. Workers report dissatisfaction stemming from perceived inequities and a lack of alignment between pay and performance (Clark, 2025). This discrepancy undermines overall productivity and organizational cohesion. The study aims to explore these issues, focusing on the relationship between remuneration policies and job commitment. It highlights the need for comprehensive strategies that ensure fair compensation and enhance employee morale (Adams, 2023; Brown, 2024).
Objectives of the study:
-
To analyze the impact of salary structure on employee job commitment in Ibadan North.
-
To identify specific salary components that influence employee satisfaction.
-
To suggest recommendations for optimizing compensation policies.
Research questions:
-
How does the salary structure affect job commitment among employees?

-
What strategies can enhance the alignment between salary structure and employee expectations?
Research Hypotheses:
-

-
Disparities in salary distribution negatively affect employee morale.
-
Optimized compensation strategies improve job performance.
Significance of the study:
The study offers valuable insights into optimizing salary structures to enhance employee commitment and organizational performance. Its findings can guide policy reforms and human resource practices in Ibadan North (Brown, 2024).
Scope and limitations of the study:
This study is confined to workers in Ibadan North Local Government Area, Oyo State, focusing on the relationship between salary structures and job commitment. It does not address other organizational factors or geographical areas.
