Abstract
Human resource incentives are crucial for enhancing organisational
performance by boosting employee motivation, satisfaction, and
performance. A study at TANESCO Dodoma analysed the effects of
financial incentives, staff training, and employee recognition using a
quantitative methodology and explanatory cross-sectional design. This
research provided insights into the immediate effect of these
incentives on organisational performance and the overall effectiveness
of the employees at TANESCO Dodoma. A study was conducted with
187 employees from TANESCO Dodoma, selected through simple
random sampling to ensure representativeness. Data was collected
through structured questionnaires to assess employee perceptions and
attitudes on the incentives and analysed using multiple linear
regression techniques, yielding significant findings. The results
indicated a significant positive relationship between various incentives
and organisational performance. Specifically, the findings indicate that
staff training is the most significant factor in improving performance,
with a p-value of p < 0.001. Financial incentives follow closely, showing
a notable impact with a p-value of p = 0.01. While staff recognition
also plays an important role, its effect is comparatively smaller, with a
p-value of p = 0.022. The study highlights the crucial role of human
resource incentives at TANESCO Dodoma in driving organisational
performance. This study provides context-specific evidence on the
contribution of human resource incentives, particularly in a Tanzanian
public sector setting, which has received limited attention in prior
research. The study recommends optimising financial incentives to
boost employee motivation and performance, expanding training
programs to enhance skills, and implementing recognition practices to
reward exceptional contributions. These strategies emphasise the
need for continuous investment in human resources to support
sustainable growth and success.
