Abstract

The study sought to investigate the relationship between remuneration and performance of non-teaching staff in the six Public Secondary Schools in Mandera East District, Mandera County, Kenya .The factors under investigation included components of remuneration, such as basic pay, benefits and non-financial rewards and working conditions. The study investigated how these factors affect performance of the non-teaching staff in public Secondary School, because they have been lamenting over poor pay, poor working conditions, among other numerous problems. These often led to poor work performance which is directly or indirectly reflected in the work output. The literature review included both primary and secondary data. The research design was descriptive because it will help to examine and present all the relevant information of the study. The target population was 50 non-teaching staff who are the employees of the six Public Secondary Schools in Mandera East District, Mandera County. Due to the small size of the population, a census investigation was undertaken. This has provided good coverage of the population surveyed and the most accurate result was obtained. Tools for data collection were mainly by use of questionnaire which was self-administered. The data was analyzed by use of descriptive statistics such as percentage and mode. The result of the study was presented by means of pie charts, bar graphs and frequency distribution tables. The study found that there is urgent need to develop the salary structure of the non-teaching staff to guide the management of the Public Secondary Schools in Mandera East District. They should design a comprehensive remuneration system that is attractive to the staff for better performance. The remuneration should include both financial and non-financial rewards. Regular pay review should be implemented to motivate the non-teaching staff and to adjust to the economic changes. Despite the above findings the researcher was not able to do conclusive study in the non-teaching staff as the scope was only the six Secondary Schools in Mandera East District. The researcher is therefore suggesting a similar study should be undertaken in all the Public Secondary Schools in Kenya in order to establish the relationship between remuneration and performance of non-teaching staff.
