The researcher recommend that The nniversity should put more emphasis on paying wages,

salaries, bonus and so on as a form of financial rewards in stimulating employee

behavior. The University should take the form of wages, salaries and incentives among

others. The nniversity should ensure that they provide adequate recognition for

employee's efforts, which in return will be reflected in their pay packages. Polices must

be formulated before a successful compensation system can be developed and implemented.
