Remuneration, Motivation, and Performance: Employee Perspectives

Abstract

Remuneration is a reward from company/ institution for their employees [3]. There are some conflicts between employee and employer. Therefore, this research aims to examine the influence of motivation and remuneration on performance from employee perspective. The sample technique is convenience sampling. Data were analysed using WARP PLS 5.0. The result shows motivation significantly influence employee performance. Hence the rise of employee motivation will leads to better performance. However, remuneration does not effects performance of employees. This is because that the remuneration is a result. In other words, the remuneration is the reward of all the efforts that has been done by the employee. Hence it is not a driving factor for employee to improve their performance. Therefore this research has huge contribution for remuneration theory that applied in institutions. In addition, future research should be able to use a qualitative approach in order to obtain better understanding.
