Download or read book Fringe Benefits Strategy on Growth of Employee Productivity in the Public Sector in Kenya written by Nickson Moseti Ongaki and published by EduPedia Publications (P) Ltd. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fringe benefits focus on maintaining the quality of life for employees and providing a level of protection and financial security for workers and for their family members some common examples are; retirement or pension plans, medical insurance, education reimbursement and time off. Like base pay plans, the major objective for most organizational fringe compensation programs is to attract, retain and motivate qualified, competent employees. Numerous surveys and experiences of HR professionals reveal that the tangible rewards that people receive for working come in the form of pay, incentives and benefits and one key to retention is to have competitive compensation practices. Employers on the other hand would be striving to cut costs so as to post impressive profit at the end of the accounting period. It is clear that there is a research gap in this area of study and that further research needs to be carried out, in order to find out whether fringe benefits really do have any effect on the productivity of employees in the public sector, Kenya. The main purpose of this research project is to find out fringe benefits effects on employee productivity in the public sector, Nairobi County. This study adopted descriptive survey design which is concerned with determining the frequency with which something occurs or the relationship between variables. This study was carried out at the State Department of Water, where the total population is 189. The researcher targeted 30% of the entire population which stands at 58 employees. A simple random sampling of the targeted population was employed. The researcher used questionnaires to collect the data and also consulted secondary sources and literature for comparison. After the collection of the data it was edited to identify inconsistencies and establish uniformity and then compiled to facilitate entry of the responses into the computer. The quantitative data was analyzed using a statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) and excel spreadsheets. Presentation of the quantitative findings was done in form of tables and percentages to enable easy interpretation by the readers accompanied by the requisite explanations and narrations. From the study it was established that security benefits such as meal, transport and house allowances contributed positively to employee productivity, that health of the workforce is inextricably linked to the productivity of the workforce and the health of the nation?s economy, that retirement benefits strongly influenced workers? behavior, giving younger workers a compelling reason to continue working for their employer and encouraging older workers to retire on a timely basis and finally that, recognizing and rewarding employees for a job well done enhances employee productivity. Since all p- values for all variables were found to be less than 0.05 it can be statistically concluded from the study that fringe benefits have a significant influence on employee productivity in the public sector. From the study it can be recommended that; the government should continue providing security benefits to all civil servants, as they positively influence employee productivity and raise overall performance in the public sector, it should continue providing health protection benefits to its employees since this will help them create a sense of loyalty and encourage their productivity, it should review the current retirement package since a good retirement package will attract and retain employees in the public sector and also improve their productivity and finally that public organizations need to improvise employee recognition programs for jobs well done as this will motivate employees thus enhancing their productivity in the public sector.

This book was released on 1995-11-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the role of the labor market in the transmission process of adjustment policies in developing countries. It begins by reviewing the recent evidence regarding the functioning of these markets. It then studies the implications of wage inertia, nominal contracts, labor market segmentation, and impediments to labor mobility for stabilization policies. The effect of labor market reforms on economic flexibility and the channels through which labor market imperfections alter the effects of structural adjustment measures are discussed next. The last part of the paper identifies a variety of issues that may require further investigation, such as the link between changes in relative wages and the distributional effects of adjustment policies.

This book was released on 2011-09-26 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Study from the year 2010 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 1.0, Bowen University, language: English, abstract: Training is the systematic development of the attitude and skill behaviour pattern required by an individual in order to perform adequately a given task. It is also the systematic modification of behaviour through learning which occurs as a result of education instruction development and planned experiences. Training is designed to change the behaviour of the employee in the work place in order to stimulate efficiency and higher performance standards (Oliseh, 2005:112). The most important resources of an organization are its human resources (the people) who supply the organization with their works, talents creatively and drive. Without competent people at the managerial as well as the operation level, the organization may end up pursuing inappropriate goals. Once the goals have been set for successful and essential ingredients will then come in and the difference between success and failure of an organization is the human element. An industrialist once said “take away all the factories trade, avenues of transportation and in four years, I will have re-established myself”.

Book excerpt: Government compensation and employment policies are important for the efficient delivery of public services which are crucial for the functioning of economies and the general prosperity of societies. On average, spending on the wage bill absorbs around one-fifth of total spending. Cross-country variation in wage spending reflects, in part, national choices about the government’s role in priority sectors, as well as variations in the level of economic development and resource constraints.
