The literature review was conducted with the aim of establishing and shading more light the effects of compensation on employee’s motivation. Different authors clearly agreed that, Motivation is a determinant of performance: however motivation is not synonymous with performance. Motivation does not wholly account for better performance but it is an important factor on bringing it about (Raymond et at 2004). Organizations that strive to meet the need of the employees reaps certain benefits. Maslow’s theory provides guidance with respect to the needs that employees are motivated to achieve.

and then analyzed in order to draw inference from the data collected. The information
collected from the respondents through questionnaires and interview guide questions
were used in order to answer the objectives of the study. More so, the study contained the
summary of the findings, conclusions, recommendation. Various findings have been
obtained from chapter four where clear and satisfactory conclusions and
recommendations have been made on the basis of the research objective stipulated in
chapter one. It was evident from the findings that there is a close relationship between
motivation and employee performance.
Conclusively therefore, it was found out that organizations can not prosper if compensation, motivation and employee performance are not catered for as important elements in an organization. The study further noted that the standards of living among the employees had improved as a result of increased productivity brought about by employee motivation.
