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).
