Abstract

This quantitative study investigates the combined effects of remuneration and work climate on employee motivation and productivity in higher-education institutions in developing countries. By employing a mixed-methods approach, this study reveals that fair and competitive remuneration directly enhances job satisfaction and motivation, while a supportive work climate fosters employee engagement and commitment. The findings suggest that a synergistic relationship exists between remuneration and the work climate, leading to improved employee outcomes. This study contributes to the literature on human resource management in academia and provides actionable recommendations for university policymakers seeking to create a more conducive work environment.

 

Keywords: Remuneration, Work Climate, Enhancing Employee Motivation, Higher Education Institutions, Educational staff, Quantitative analysis.
