ABSTRACT
This study examines the extent to which compensation management can be used as a tool for
improving organizational performance in a typical public sector organization like the Anambra
State of Nigeria Civil Service. Guided by the Vroom’s expectancy theory of motivation, this study
seeks to ascertain if financial compensations have a significant relationship with employee
performance in the public service using Anambra State Civil Service as a reference. It also aimed at
finding out if efforts of the employees are commensurate with financial compensations and
ascertain the extent to which reform programmes of the State Government have affected
compensation policies and practices. In pursuance of the objectives of the study, the descriptive
survey design was adopted. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation was used for data analysis and
Z-test was also used to test the significance of the coefficient of correlation at 5% level of
significance. It was found that financial compensation for staff members in the public service do
not have a significant effect on their performance and that financial compensation received are not
commensurate with staff efforts. The study further found that reform programmes of the
Government do not have a significant effect on the financial compensation policies and practices in
the public sector due to poor compensation management. Based on these findings, it is
recommended that for any public service organization such as the Anambra State of Nigeria Civil
Service Commission to improve the performance of employees, they should offer financial
compensation that will be specifically designed to link it with performance.

1. INTRODUCTION
The turbulent management-labour crisis over continuous agitation for increased pay in the
public services all over the world is challenging public sector organizations to utilize their
employees more effectively to improve organizational performance. In Nigerian Civil Services, pay
has become the driving force for seeking employment in the industry. It therefore becomes
imperative that organizations establish and adopt a compensation system that can motivate
employees to work while at the same time not eating too deep into the organization’s resources.
Compensation processes are based on Compensation Philosophies and strategies and
contain arrangement in the shape of Policies and strategies, guiding principles, structures and
procedures which are devised and managed to provide and maintain appropriate types and levels of
pay, benefits and other forms of compensation (Bob, 2011). This constitutes measuring job values,
designing and maintaining pay structures, paying for performance, competence and skill, and
109

providing employee benefits. However, compensation management is not just about money. It is
also concerned with that non-financial compensation which provides intrinsic or extrinsic
motivation (Bob, 2011).
This work however is limited to financial compensation in Anambra State Civil Service as
a recent study by Anyebe (2003) has shown that pay is the driving force for seeking employment in
the Civil Service. Stretching this further, Armstrong (2005) stated that compensation management
is an integral part of human resources management approach to productivity improvement in the
organization. It deals with the design, implementation and maintenance of compensation system
that are geared to the improvement of organizational, team and individual performance.
Compensation implies having a compensation structure in which the employees who perform better
are paid more than the average performing employees (Pearce, 2010). Compensation Management
is concerned with the formulation and implementation of strategies and Policies that aim to
compensate people fairly, equitably and consistently in accordance with their value to the
organization (Armstrong, 2005). The task in compensation administration is to develop policies and
procedures that will attain maximum return on Naira spent in the terms of attracting, satisfying,
retaining and perhaps motivating employees (Anyebe, 2003).
Anambra State Civil Service which the researchers examined originated from the Eastern
Nigeria Government and the old Anambra State. The creation of this state in 1991 led to the set up
of the Anambra State Civil Service. Employing the tenets of traditional public administration, the
state civil service was an instrument of the government authorities as well as an impartial
interpreter and implementer of the policies and programmes of the State Government. Robert and
Angelo (2001) opined that the success or failure of organizations hinges on the ability to attract,
develop, retain, empower and reward a diverse array of appropriately skilled people and is the key
to improved performance hence the enthronement of democratic governance in 1999 brought some
civil service reforms and Anambra State Civil Service Commission got vested with horizontal
powers by law to manage the workforce of the civil service for greater efficiency. Successive
constitutional reviews and Civil Service reforms have catalysed the evolution of the civil service as
an institution for spearheading the rapid transformation of the state and ensuring continuity of
administration (Nweke, 2010).
Compensation management is one of the central pillars of human resources management
(HRM). It is concerned with the formulation and implementation of strategies and policies that aim
to compensate people fairly, equitably and consistently in accordance with their value to the
organization (Armstrong, 2005). Compensation Management as the name suggests, implies having
a compensation structure in which the employees who perform better are paid more than the
average performing employees (Hewitt, 2009). This encourages top-performers to work harder and
helps to build a competitive atmosphere in the organization. Armstrong and Brown (2005)
postulate that compensation management is an integral part of HRM approach to managing people
and as such it supports the achievement of business objectives and it is strategic in the sense that it
addresses longer term issues relating to how people should be valued for what they want to
achieve; It is therefore integrated with other HRM functions, especially those concerned with
human resources development.
Armstrong (2005) in his own analysis says compensation management is all about
developing a positive employment relationship and psychological contract that adopts a total
compensation approach which recognizes that there are a number of ways in which people can be
compensated. Other writers (Bob 2001; Brown 2003; Anyebe 2003) see compensation management
as being based on a well articulated philosophy- a set of beliefs and guiding principles that are
consistent with the values of the organization which recognizes the fact that if HRM is about
investing in human capital from which a reasonable return is required, then it is proper to
110
Sacha Journal of Policy and Strategic Studies Volume 1 Number 1 (2011), pp. 109-120
compensate people differently according to their contribution. This emphasizes the development of
the skills and competencies of employees in order to increase the resource-based capability of the
organization.
Harrison and Liska (2008) in their study posit that reward is the centre piece of the
employment contract-after all it is the main reason why people work. This includes all types of
rewards, both intrinsic and extrinsic, that are received as a result of employment by the
organization. In another study, Brown (2003) sees compensation as a return in exchange between
their employees and themselves as an entitlement for being an employee of the organization, or as a
reward for a job well done. Employees’ pay does not depend solely on the jobs they hold. Instead
organizations vary the amount paid according to differences in performance of the individual,
group, or whole organization as well as differences in employee qualities such as seniority,
educational levels and skills (Gehart and Milkovich, 1992).
Remuneration does not simply compensate employees for their efforts- it also has an
impact on the recruitment and retention of talented people according to Milkovich and Newman
(2001).World at work (2000) argues that compensation philosophies and objectives must reflect the
overall culture, philosophies and strategic plans of the organization. He posits that there are two
basic compensation philosophies, which should be seen as opposite ends of a continuum. At one
end of the continuum is the entitlement philosophy, at the other end, the performance-oriented
philosophy.
Employees and managers who subscribe to the entitlement philosophy believe that
individuals who have worked another year are entitled to a rise in base pay and that all incentives
and benefit programs should continue unchanged regardless of changing industry or economic
conditions. On the other hand, in case of performance-oriented approach, no one is guaranteed
compensation just for adding another year to organizational service instead pay and incentives are
based on performance differences among employees. Employees and those who do not perform
satisfactorily receive little or no increase in compensation. It is therefore critical that organizations
align their compensation practice with performance to enhance the achievement of organizational
goals and enhance competitive advantage.
Fein (2010) postulates that firms with formal bonus plans had an average pre-tax return on
investment of 15.8 percent, compared to 11.7 percent for firms without a formal plan; the after-tax
profits were 8.6 percent versus 5 percent. Redling (2008) carried out a research where performance
was measured by a 5-year performance ranking that combined earnings growth and return on
shareholders’ equity. Using a randomly selected sample of 25 companies, he correlated each
organization’s ranked performance with its base salary growth with its salary-plus –bonus growth
over 5 years. He found a correlation of .16 between base salary increase and firm performance and
a correlation of .09 between salary –plus-bonus increase and performance, from which he
concluded that there was little indication of the existence of performance-contingent pay plans in
current top executive compensation. Nweke (2010) identifies the on-going civil service reforms in
Anambra State as follows:
 The Salaries and allowances of Civil servants have been increased four times since
2001. The State governments also increased the rent allowance from 30% to 40% to
bring it at par with other sister states.
 The state government also commenced the restructuring through a pilot phase
involving some ministries and offices. His key operations in the restructuring
exercises involve among others; mission and vision articulation, mandate review,
personnel and payroll audit process review, structure re-alignment information
system applications, re- tooling and re-skilling.

Civil Service Capacity Building; the reform involves training and retraining staff

There is a manifest change in government‘s budgeting and financial management
philosophy and operation , which is now characterized by firm policies , economic
growth and management orientation, time discipline and predictability in resource
allocation and funding releases.
Pension Reforms
The government has increased substantially the subventions to some Ministries,
Departments, Agencies, Corporations to enable them implement all increases in
salaries already implemented in the Service.
Group Personal Accident Insurance Scheme; the policy provides cover for death,
partial, /permanent disablement of an officer in an accident occurring within the
period of cover.
Loomis (2008) plotted 2007 compensation (salaries, bonuses, profit-sharing, stock
purchase contribution) against return on share holders’ equity found a less than perfect
correspondence, and moreover, highlighted extreme cases of executives receiving relatively large
increases in compensation during a period of deteriorating profitability for their firms. Loomis
argued that executive compensation in these prominent publicly-held firms should be more directly
tied to firm performance. Dyer and Schwab (1982) noted that there is research evidence that
incentive pay plans for non-management employees produce higher productivity.
2. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
This study has a base on the Vroom’s expectancy theory of motivation which states that
performance can be thought of a multiplicative function of motivation and ability, example P = (M
X A). Motivation in turn varies with the valence (V) or attractiveness of outcomes upon the
performance for that task, and the instrumentality (1) of performance for attaining the outcome.
Vroom is simply saying in precise mathematical language that motivation depends not just on the
outcome desired by the worker, but also on the instrumentality of effort, that is the relationship
perceived by the worker between his and others’ previous efforts and the desired outcome.
According to Idemobi (2010), the Expectancy Theory is a process theory developed which
basically concentrates on the outcomes. What Vroom explained in his theory is that fact that in
order to motivate employees or people the effort put in by the employees, the performance
generated and motivation must be linked to one another. According to Vroom employee
expectations can affect an individual’s motivation. Therefore, the amount of effort employees
exerts on a specific task depends on their expectations of the outcome. Vroom contends that
employees ask three basic questions committing maximum effort to a task: (1) Can I accomplish
the task? (2) If I do accomplish it, what’s my reward? (3) Is the reward worth the effort?
Building on the Vroom model, Ejiofor (1987) identifies four critical variables in worker
motivation. They are; the ability of the worker (A), attractiveness of the rewards of working
(Valence), causal relationship between effort and rewards (instrumentality) and the existence of
infrastructural support (Tools). Regarding the effects of these variables on motivation, each of them
has a direct relationship with motivation (Ejiofor, 1987). He argued that when holding workers’
ability, attractiveness of the reward and infrastructural support constant, only an incentive system
based strictly on perfect instrumentality can keep worker motivation at optimum. He submits that
perfect instrumentality is a missing link in Nigerian organizations. This study agrees with the
112
Sacha Journal of Policy and Strategic Studies Volume 1 Number 1 (2011), pp. 109-120
research carried out by Ejiofor (1987) that instrumentality is the missing link in the motivational
strategies and policies of most Nigerian organizations. It is only compensation or reward system
based strictly on perfect instrumentality can keep worker motivation at optimum. In other words
Vroom basically proposed three variables which in turn were vital to motivate employees. They are
basically expectancy, instrumentality and valence.
By any chance if employees happen to believe that any one of the three is not available,
then Vroom states that the employees are unlikely to be motivated. In other words, as Vroom sees
it, it is right to say that in order to motivate the employees all of above three have to be achieved by
the organization. Expectancy theory does note that expectation varies from individual to individual.
Employees therefore establish their own views in terms of task difficulty and the value of the
reward.
This study aims to examine the extent to which an effective compensation management can
be used as a tool for improving organizational performance in a public sector organization using
the Anambra State of Nigeria Civil Service as reference case. The specific objectives are:
 To ascertain if financial compensation has a significant relationship with employee
performance in the Anambra State Civil Service.
 To find out if efforts of the employees are commensurate with financial compensation.
 To ascertain the extent to which reform programmes of the State Government have affected
compensation policies and practices.
3. METHODS AND MATERIALS
The study is limited to six (6) and of thirty two (32) organizations selected from the
Anambra State Civil Service. The selected organizations include Anambra Ministry of
Education, Anambra State Ministry of Health, Board of Internal Revenue, Anambra State
Local Government Service Commission, Anambra Broadcasting Service and Anambra State
Environmental Protection Agency.
3.1
The Problem
The turbulent management-labour crisis over continuous agitation for increased pay in the
public services all over the world is challenging public sector organizations to utilize their
employees more effectively to improve organizational performance. In Nigerian Civil Services, pay
has become the driving force for seeking employment in the industry. In the Ananmbra State of
Nigeria, available records show that since the state was created in 1991 only a few Government
administrations have made efforts to compensation workers adequately (Nweke, 2010). This has
greatly reduced performance of key personnel in the various Ministries, Departments, Agencies,
Government Boards, Parastatals, Corporations and Commissions under the Anambra State Civil
Service. Indeed due to poor compensation management in the service over the years, some of these
organizations went moribund. As Nweke (2010) puts it, Anambra State Civil Service Commission
seemed to have a myopic view of what should constitute appropriate or fair compensation. This
explains why many past administrations in the state have engaged in various Civil Service reforms
without seriously improving service delivery.
It therefore becomes imperative that organizations establish and adopt a compensation
system that can motivate employees to work while at the same time not eating too deep into the
organization’s resources. The problem of this study therefore is to examine the role of effective
113

compensation management in ensuring better service delivery in public sector organizations using
the Anambra State of Nigeria Public Service as a reference.

Data collection and Analysis
A descriptive survey involving questionnaire was the research design adopted for this
study. The population of the study was a finite one consisting of the entire staff of the selected
organizations. The population of the study at the time of this study was One Thousand, Three
hundred and Sixty Five (1,365). The random sampling method was adopted for the selection of
organizations in Anambra State Civil Service. The Research employed the Spearman Rank- order
Correlation Coefficient for the degree of relationship. The reliability test was conducted among a
group of 300 employees to ascertain if the correlation between the compensation management and
performance in Anambra State Civil Service. The Rank correlation is 0.995, signifying that there is
reasonable agreement between the two sets administered. The hypotheses are analyzed using the
Pearson Product Moments Coefficient of Correlation.

4. DISCUSSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The finding of the test of the first hypothesis shows that there is no significant
relationship between the financial compensations in the Anambra State Civil Service and
employee performance. This finding explains why the Civil Service Commission should adopt
the best form of financial compensation strategy that will improve the performance of its
employees in line with the assertion of Robert and Angelo (2001) when they opined that the
success or failure of organizations depend on how the employers retain, empower and reward a
diverse array of appropriately skilled people and is the key to improved performance. The result
of the second hypothesis indicates that there is no significant relationship between the efforts of
the employees and financial compensations of the Anambra State Civil Service. This is in
agreement with the assertion of Ejiofor (1987) who postulates that an able worker will not be
motivated if he does not perceive that there is an intimate relationship between his effort and
his reward.
The outcome of hypothesis three reveals that the reform programmes of the Anambra
State Government have not had a significant effect on financial compensation policies and
practices of the civil service.
Based on the result of findings, the following recommendations are made:
 The Anambra State Civil Service Commission should insist on doing the proper job
analysis in the organizations along with wages and salaries, the Civil Service Commission
should offer attractive incentive pay that will be specifically designed to link certain
predetermined behaviour or outcome in order to meet the performance standards.
 The management should relate pay rise directly to performance
 The State Government should undertake further Civil Service Reforms that will reengineer and streamline government machinery, so that a significant increase in the
quantity and cost- effectiveness of the civil service can be realized.
If all these recommendations are put in place, the Anambra State Government will
achieve the dream of having a Civil Service of the twenty –first century that would be properly
focused and result oriented.
