Monetisation of Employee's Remuneration : Its Implication on Workers' Productivity
Get PDFThe purpose of this paper is to show whether the
monetisation of employee s remuneration has any
effect on productivity. It should be appreciated that
productivity is influenced by an infinite number of
factors, one of which could be the monetisation of the
remuneration of workers by their employers. In
order to e stablish the ''pure effects " of one variable,
all the others have to be controlled. However, neither
the data nor the information used, in this paper, will
justifY the level of statistical analysis needed to
establish causality. Consequently, "implication", as
used in this paper, should be interpreted more in
terms of 'associational 'than "causal" relationships.
This paper examines the effect of remuneration on
the employees productivity. It reviews the purpose of
·the policy and the mechanism for achieving it in the
economy, in a way capable of resolving disputes in
industrial relations and ensuring proper evaluation
of employees remuneration without ignoring the
cost benefits implication of monetisation, on the
employer of labour. The paper examines, the courses
of productivity growth, vis-a-vis, the relationship
between productivity and other variables, such as
employment wages, prices and monetisation of
workers' benefits. The paper, further examines the
various inadequacies and the benefits of
monetisation of employees renumeration. The study
concludes, that, adequate measures should be taken
in order to ensure, that, the policy does not lead to
massive fraud, corruption, capital flight and the
exploitation of the weak by the strong, among other
things
