Internal Dynamics and Employee Performance: An Empirical Evidence from Nigeria Commercial Banks across North Central Zone

Abstract

This study examines the impact of internal dynamics (motivational strategies) on employee performance. Collected data were analysed by structural equation modelling. This study reveals that salary had positive and significant associations with employee performance except for job security. Hence, this study recommends that the management should focus on these motivational factors by creating a positive job security, competitive salary, attract and retain talented employees, and foster higher levels of job satisfaction, and ultimately contributing to improved organizational performance and success. The originality of this study lies in its analysis of motivational strategies and employee performance in Nigerian Deposit money banks. Furthermore, the study highlights the relevance of motivating employee related issues to ensure improved performance and effective use of strategies.
