CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The basic reason for this study is to evaluate the effect of compensation in employees performance, taking First Bank of Nigeria Plc Owerri Imo State as a case study. The study was carried out in Owerri metropolis with the customers of First Bank of Nigeria Plc, Owerri.
First Bank of Nigeria Plc was founded in 1894 by Sir Alfred Jone, on shipping magnate from Liverpool. The bank commenced as a small bank in the office of Elder Dempoter and Company in Lagos.
It was in corporate as a limited liability corporate name of Bank of British West Africa (BBWA) with an authorized share capital of 100,000 pounds. It thus became the First Bank to be established in Nigeria. The bank remarkable growth and by 1907, it has established a branch in Calabar. It extended its services to the North a few years later. Until 1958, the bank performed the role of a Central Bank of Nigeria as Africa Currency Board. In line with the colonization process often 1950’s the bank’s name was changed to bank of West Africa (BWA) in 1957. A merger with the Standard Bank of West Africa Limited in 1966, in compliance with the Companies Decree of 1968, the bank was incorporated as Standard Bank of Nigeria Limited in 1969. The Federal Government of Nigeria purchased 36.1% of the bank’s equity while Nigeria investors took up 12.9% in line with the indigenization process that commenced in 1972.
The banks name was again changed in 1979 to First Bank of Nigeria Limited and it’s share were listed on the floor of the Nigeria Stock Exchanged in the further year. In compliance with the requirements of Section 31 of the Companies and Allied Matters Decree 1990, the name of the Bank was further changed to First Bank of Nigeria Plc.,
There is a strong relationship between the production of workers and the compensation they get. In First Bank of Nigeria Plc Owerri Imo State given the alarming rate of decrease in productivity, the researcher tried to establish the correction between productivity and motivation workers get at their work places. Workers were complaining that many of them have worked for many years yet they do not get the motivation or compensation required for work well done. This, morale was low thereby resulting to low production and services to the customers no matter the high level of profit the bank is making, still their workers are not well compensated compared with the stress and restlessness involved in banking sector work.
There are various compensation schemes that do not exercise in most Nigerian firms but with a particular reference to First Bank Plc Owerri, these compensation scheme include the following:
i. Basic Wage/Salary: This is the stated minimum pay to a worker at the end of every day, week, month, or as the case may be for all his efforts and sacrifice made to his organization. But workers in First Bank Plc Owerri complained that despite that they are getting their basic salaries regularly but some incentives that are supposed to be paid to them are not regularly given to them. Thereby making them to feel unmotivated towards their job in the bank.
2. Fringe Benefits: This is another motivational package that is given to a worker in form of financial or non financially payments in addition to his or her basic salary. Fringe benefits boots the morale of employees, makes them feel belonging and spurs them into adding more efforts to their work. This fringe benefit comes as a result of a good rapport existing between the employers and employee. Examples of fringe benefits are: housing allowance, transport allowance, free medical care, meal, subsidy, refurbishing loans, leave allowance, pension and retirement benefits, journal allowance etc. These benefits are what an average workers supposed to get but First Bank of Nigeria Plc Owerri workers complained bitterly that despite the years they have worked with the bank that some of these benefits are not given to them, and is as a result of low motivation or compensational schemes.
