This dissertation was an attempt to undertake the study on finding out the impact of
remuneration on performance of the Local Government staff in Tanzania, particularly
Ludewa District Council found in Iringa Region as a case of study. It was conducted
within a period of four months, starting from November, 2012 to March, 2013.The
study sample size, under this context was 40 respondents, including 8 Heads of
Departments, 8 General Departments Staff Members, 8 Councilors,8 LGA's
Stakeholders(NGO's) and 8 ordinary people from Ludewa Town ward. Selection of
respondents adhered to age, gender, , marital status and education levels criteria.
The study employed both Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methodologies. Tools
used were Questionnaires, Interviews and Focus Group Discussion.
The study revealed that remuneration has a great impact on the LGA staff performance,
hence, it was found that the current LGA staff's minimum salary is not satisfactorily
influential over the employees performance. Accordingly, respondents recommended
that the minimum basic salary to fall between Tshs. 600,000/- and 1,200,000/-. It was
also observed that only 5 percent (%) of the LGA staff (including heads of departments)
enjoyed an attractive remuneration of basic salaries ranging between Tshs. 1,200,000/-
and 3,000,000/-. Furthermore, the findings showed that more employees‟ allowances
should be offered to the LGA staff.
Lastly, it was recommended by the researcher that, in order to enhance the sustainable
LGA staff good performance on service delivery, the council is responsible of
improving the current local social services like water, electricity, transport and
communication so as to make employees be able to work under a more conducive social
environment. This may also enhance work morale, thus good performance. |
