The Relationship of Non-Financial Incentive Schemes on the Work Performance of Private Educational Institutions’ Employees

Vanessa Fajardo

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

In every institution, a high level of work performance is achieved if the management has a proper reward system. This study determined the influence of non-financial incentive schemes on the work performance of employees of private educational institutions. The research used a descriptive-correlational research design and a probability sampling technique. The data were gathered from one hundred (100) teaching and non-teaching employees. The level of non-financial incentive schemes for private educational institutions’ employees in terms of recognition, promotion, career development, work conditions, and training opportunities is high. Moreover, the level of work performance of higher educational institutions’ employees in terms of task performance and contextual performance is high, while counterproductive work behavior is moderately high. The findings indicate that the non-financial incentive schemes and work performance have a significant relationship, which means that when the level of the non-financial incentive schemes increases, the level of work performance also increases. The findings also indicate that non-financial incentive schemes significantly influence the work performance of employees of private educational institutions.
