Abstract:
ABSTRACT
This study was undertaken to examine the role of non-financial rewards on
employees’ job satisfaction in some manufacturing firms in Greater Accra
region. This study adopted the descriptive quantitative research approach using
a sample of 206 employees from 57 selected manufacturing firms in the Greater
Accra Region. The questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument and
the SPSS (Version 21) was used for the data analysis. The study found that
reward systems in the firms were performance-based and that the employees in
the selected manufacturing firms in the Greater Accra region perceive such
reward systems as attractive and equitable. The employees placed high value
on performance appraisal feedback, promotion and recognition. In addition, the
study found that non-financial rewards had a positive and strong significant
effect on job satisfaction. It was recommended that the manufacturing firms
should continually adopt a performance-based reward system and that feedback,
good and fair promotion policies and recognition should be prioritized.
