Abstract:
Purpose: The main objective of this study was to ascertain how employee performance at the Western Regional Coordinating Council was affected by compensation, benefits, gender, and years of service.
Design/methodology/approach: The study was conducted at the Western Regional Coordinating Council in Sekondi in the western region of Ghana. A quantitative approach and an empirical study design were utilized for the data collecting and analysis, along with a convenience sampling technique to sample 110 employees, an interview schedule, multiple linear regression, and STATA version 14 for the analysis.
Findings: Employee years of service and work satisfaction had no association, according to the study, Pr = 0.335 and P ≤ 0.05). Once more, the results showed that in the Western Regional Coordinating Council, benefits and salary have a big bearing on employee performance. The study's outcomes also discovered that, although employee years of service and gender are both shown to affect performance, their effects were most pronounced in the male gender and 25 years and older age groups, respectively.
Therefore, the study suggests that management of Western Regional Coordinating Council consider providing remuneration and benefits packages that give employees the competitive advantage they require to be hired, retained, and motivated.
